It challenges dominant narratives in World Literature and transatlantic studies that ignore Africa's impact in broader Latin American culture. Sarah Quesada argues that these canonical works evoke textual memorials of African memory. She shows how the African Atlantic haunts modern Latinx and Carribbean writing, and examines the disavowal or distortion of the African subject in the constructions of national, racial, sexual, and spiritual Latinx identity. Queseda shows how themes such as the 19th century "scramble for Africa," the decolonizing wars, Black internationalism, and the neoliberal turn are embedded in key narratives. Drawing from multilingual archives about West and Central Africa, she examines how the legacies of colonial French, Iberian, British and U.S. Imperialisms have impacted on the relationships between African and Latinx identities. This is the first book-length project to address the African colonial and imperial inheritance of Latinx literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Textual memorials of a Latin-African literature -- Fear: Junot DiÌaz's zombies and les contorsions extraordinaires in "Monstro" -- Commodification: Black internationalism and the African safari of Achy Obejas's Ruins -- Obliteration: Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez and his Angolan chronicles of a "Latin-African" death foretold -- Archival distortion: the Chicano Congo of TomaÌs Rivera and Rudolfo Anaya. 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x African influences. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Transnationalism in literature. 650 0 $a Group identity in literature. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x African influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807119 650 7 $a American literature $x Caribbean American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807134 650 7 $a American literature $x Hispanic American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807169 650 7 $a Group identity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00948452 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Transnationalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904970 651 0 $a Africa $x In literature. 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Quesada, Sarah, 1984- $t African heritage of Latinx and Caribbean literature $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781009086806 $w (DLC) 2022004698 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in world literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19714E7C253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
