Excellent- More about The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature
The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature explores how canonical Latinx writers of the last fifty years have evoked textual memorials of African memory, challenging dominant narratives that ignore Africa's impact in broader Latin American culture. It examines how themes such as the 19th-century scramble for Africa, decolonizing wars, Black internationalism, and the neoliberal turn are embedded in key narratives and how the legacies of colonial French, Iberian, British, and U.S. Imperialisms have impacted on the relationships between African and Latinx identities.

The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature delves into a hidden African archive, revealing the profound influence of Africa on Latinx writers over the past fifty years. It challenges prevailing narratives in World Literature and transatlantic studies that overlook Africa's significant impact on broader Latin American culture. Sarah Quesada contends that these canonical works serve as textual memorials of African memory, haunting modern Latinx and Caribbean writing. She explores how the African Atlantic continues to haunt these regions, examining the disavowal or distortion of the African subject in the constructions of national, racial, sexual, and spiritual Latinx identity. Quesada demonstrates how themes such as the 19th-century scramble for Africa, decolonizing wars, Black internationalism, and the neoliberal turn are intricately woven into key narratives. By drawing from multilingual archives about West and Central Africa, she uncovers how the legacies of colonial French, Iberian, British, and U.S. Imperialism have shaped the complex relationships between African and Latinx identities. This groundbreaking book-length project is the first to explore the African colonial and imperial inheritance of Latinx literature in depth.
