Abilio Estévez
Este libro tiene su origen en el homenaje que la Cátedra Extraordinaria Luis Cernuda organizó en la Facultad de Filología de Sevilla (2013) para celebrar el portentoso universo narrativo del escritor cubano Abilio Estévez. Además de la participación de reputados especialistas, se ha contado con un texto de gran calado del propio escritor, titulado “¿Con quién casamos a Eugenia?”, que representa no sólo una memoria sentimental sobre sus orígenes literarios y su pasión por el arte y la cultura, sino que constituye una suerte de poética, a través de la cual invita al lector a releer sus libros siguiendo el magisterio de Balzac, de Flaubert, de Canetti o de Lezama Lima, sin perd...

Distant Palaces
"In a city riddled with conflict and no longer tolerant of misfits, the trio find solace in one another and in the dilapidated theater that shelters them, as well as joy in their growing ability to entertain people with their clowning. But the harsh realities of existence intrude on their self-contained utopia, forcing Victorio and Salma back into the chaotic streets, where they struggle to keep beauty and laughter alive."--Jacket.
The Whole Island
Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets ...

A History of Latinx Performing Arts in the U.S.

Split into two volumes, these books offer interpretations and representations of a wide range of Latinxs’ lived experiences in the U.S. Volume I provides a chronological overview of the evolution of the Latinx community within the U.S., spanning f...
Cuban Currency
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, during an economic crisis termed its “special period in times of peace,” Cuba began to court the capitalist world for the first time since its 1959 revolution. With the U.S. dollar instated as domestic currency, the island seemed suddenly accessible to foreign consumers, and their interest in its culture boomed. Cuban Currency is the first book to address the effects on Cuban literature of the country’s spectacular opening to foreign markets that marked the end of the twentieth century. Based on interviews and archival research in Havana, Esther Whitfield argues that writers have both challenged and profited from new transnational mar...
