Última rumba en La Habana
(El) proceso de apertura y normalización se consolida en los noventa, una década en la que la narrativa de la isla se dota de armas hasta entonces prohibidas, como las de la furia, el pesimismo, la ironía y el humor negro. Da la sensación de que el sueño revolucionario se ha venido abajo definitivamente y, entre las ruinas, surgen autores como el conocido Pedro Juan Gutiérrez (Trilogía sucia de la Habana) o Fernando Velázquez Medina (Última rumba en La Habana)... inaugurando un nuevo género que podríamos llamar "realismo sucio tropical’ . Pablo Martinez Zarracina en La Voz de Cádiz, El Comercio de Gijón y El Norte de Castilla ... me ha parecido espléndida, muy poderosa, densa...

Straight Walk
As a child, Patricia Velasquez watched her mother struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table for their large family. In her unprivileged community in Venezuela, food and water were scarce. It pained her to see her mother work so hard, often denying herself food or clothing for the sake of her six children, and Patricia was determined to escape this impoverished life.

World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality
From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
