But they struggle to narrate the passage of time between these hazy, distant memories and RauÌl's tangible twentieth-century presence. Some surmise (without accounting for the generations that separated RauÌl from slavery) that he was the son of enslaved parents who "had adopted the surname of the family they had served."4 Others find it easier simply to have him materialize. "He appeared one day in one of the city's many holes," storytellers declared, "airs of a forgotten Congo ruffling his wooly hair, the winds from Montserrat carrying the sounds of their candombes."5 Or, "He appeared on the city's streets like a jet-black doll"-a lifeless object-"dropped by a carnival troupe."6 The main character of these stories has no verifiable history; he "appears" fully formed, sometime in the early 1900s, as "el negro RauÌl.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Grigera, RauÌl, $d -1955. 650 0 $a Black people $z Argentina $v Biography. 650 0 $a Black people $z Argentina $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Black people $z Argentina $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Africans $z Argentina $x History. 651 0 $a Argentina $x Race relations. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032938.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220311010102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6693DF8A10811EC97B7F3B05EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
