Olvidos
Olvidos está dividido en dos partes: “Aurora” y “Despertar”. En ambas, encontramos una voz que duda, que oscila entre un pasado revivido y un futuro no visible desde el presente. Esta mirada atrás parece ser consagrada al amor; así se afirma en la dedicatoria a su hija: “Para Lía, solo ella, estos cantos de amor”. Sin embargo, esa “amada mía” que se alterna con “amiga mía”, parece evocar, a veces, el amor de una mujer, y otras, el amor por una idea, por una esperanza rota, ¿por la patria? En cualquier caso, esa presencia feminizada abarca, desde la nostalgia, la reflexión del poeta. Siendo el amanecer –no olvidemos los títulos de las dos partes– el momento de...
Afroeurope@n Configurations
This volume brings together contributions from various disciplines in the humanities exploring a variety of cultural, social and political configurations produced by the African presence in Europe, and attempting to consolidate a comparative framework for the study of contemporary black literatures and identities across different national and linguistic contexts. From the circumstances of black students in Russia to the recovery of a forgotten African identity in the Canary Islands, from the specificities of Portuguese postcoloniality to the representations of Africans in Iceland, the essays collected here provide a wide spectrum of research on African Diasporas in Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern Europe offering insights into previously little explored areas.
African American Women's Literature in Spain
This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women’s literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.
Twenty-First Century Arab and African Diasporas in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
This volume considers the Arabic and African diasporas through the underexplored Afro-Hispanic, Luso-Africans, and Mahjari (South American and Mexican authors of Arab descent) experiences in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. Utilizing both established and emerging approaches, the authors explore the ways in which individual writers and artists negotiate the geographical, cultural, and historical parameters of their own diasporic trajectories influenced by their particular locations at home and elsewhere. At the same time, this volume sheds light on issues related to Spain, Portugal, and Latin American racial, ethnic, and sexual boundaries; the appeal of images of the Middle East and Africa in the contemporary marketplace; and the role of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American economic crunches in shaping attitudes towards immigration. This collection of thought-provoking chapters extends the concepts of diaspora and transnationalism, forcing the reader to reassess their present limitations as interpretive tools. In the process, Afro-Hispanic, Afro-Portuguese, and Mahjaris are rendered visible as national actors and transnational citizens.
New Voices of Muslim North-African Migrants in Europe
In New Voices of Muslim North-African Migrants in Europe, Cristián H. Ricci captures the experience in writing of a growing number of individuals belonging to migrant communities in Europe. The book follows attempts to transform postcolonial literary studies into a comparative, translingual, and supranational project.
African, Lusophone, and Afro-Hispanic Cultural Dialogue
African, Lusophone, and Afro-Hispanic Cultural Dialogue is a collection of essays of broad historical and geographic scope that advances analytical perspectives regarding a highly transcultural and changing African continent enmeshed in the vestiges of slavery and colonialism and the complex dynamics of post-colonialism. Mostly grounded in literary studies, the essays discuss the interconnections between Africa and its Lusophone and Afro-Hispanic diaspora. Particular focus is given to how they relate to the politics of identity and assimilation, migration and displacement, the concept of “nation”, Eurocentrism and racial essentialisms, as well as Black aesthetics.
El sueño y otros relatos
Este volumen reúne por primera vez los seis relatos escritos hasta la fecha por Donato Ndongo, figura mayor de las letras guineoecuatorianas. “Como el conjunto de la obra de este autor, sus textos no buscan solo la distracción, el solaz […] Su principal propósito no puede ser otro que facilitar una vía, la literatura, a través de la cual hacer que el lector se impregne de los males que han acompañado y acompañan a los africanos, con la intención no de provocar el llanto estéril, sino la acción”. Inmaculada Díaz Narbona (de la Presentación) “Los cuentos de Ndongo ponen de relieve la explotación de los más débiles: pobres, mujeres, niños… El país que describe el autor guineano en estos relatos es un territorio deshecho, con gente embrutecida por la opresión y la dureza de la situación. Individuos oprimidos que oprimen a su vez a los más desdichados: mujeres, niños, extranjeros…” Gustau Nerín (del Prólogo)
Representing 21st-Century Migration in Europe
The 21st century has witnessed some of the largest human migrations in history. Europe in particular has seen a major influx of refugees, redefining notions of borders and national identity. This interdisciplinary volume brings together leading international scholars of migration from perspectives as varied as literature, linguistics, area and cultural studies, media and communication, visual arts, and film studies. Together, they offer innovative interpretations of migrants and contemporary migration to Europe, enriching today’s political and media landscape, and engaging with the ongoing debate on forced mobility and rights of both extra-European migrants and European citizens.

Relations and Networks in South African Indian Writing
Writers of Indian origin seldom appear in the South African literary landscape, although the participation of Indian South Africans in the anti-apartheid struggle was anything but insignificant. The collective experiences of violence and the plea for reconciliation that punctuate the rhythms of post-apartheid South Africa delineate a national script in which ethnic, class, and gender affiliations coalesce and patterns of connectedness between diverse communities are forged. Relations and Networks in South African Indian Writing brings the experience of South African Indians to the fore, demonstrating how their search for identity is an integral part of the national scene’s project of conne...
