Afro-Hispanic Reader and Anthology

About this book

The Afro-Hispanic Reader and Anthology, bilingual in its presentation in both Spanish and English, enables a more fulsome discussion on African Diasporic literature and cultural forms and a wider embrace of cultural production by writers of African ancestry in the Americas, Caribbean and Africa. Invaluable in its connection of African Diaspora Studies; Spanish and Portugese cultural studies; literary criticism and Latin American Literature to Caribbean studies generally, this collection will further enhance the link between African and the Americas. The book is divided into four parts, the first two focusing on a specific country in the Caribbean, Central and Latin America, Mexico and Equatorial Guinea. An overview of the black presence is discussed together with the historical, political and sociocultural issues that have emerged in each country. The work and contribution of an individual writer is also presented with questions for discussion to enable a deeper understanding of the writer's context and themes.
