Handbook of Latin American Studies
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and...
Afro-Cuban Identity in Postrevolutionary Novel and Film
Afro-Cuban Identity in Post-Revolutionary Novel and Film examines the changing discourse on race as portrayed in Cuban novels and films produced after 1959. Andrea Easley Morris analyzes the artists' participation in and questioning of the revolutionary government's revision of national identity to include the unique experience and contributions of Cuban men and women of African descent. While the Cuban revolution brought sweeping changes that vastly improved the material condition of many Afro-Cubans, at the time overrepresented among Cuba's poor and marginalized, the government's official position was that racial inequities had been resolved as early as 1962.

Migrant and Tourist Encounters
Migrant and Tourist Encounters: The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures analyzes the effects of clashing flows of voluntary and involuntary travelers to and from these countries due to an increase in migration and tourism during the last three decades. I compare the ways in which literary works and films reflect on and critique the power relations and ethics of im/mobility and encounter, both on the islands and in destinations abroad. The works draw attention to the interconnectedness of migration, tourism, and other forms of travel as well as immobility, and portray growing local and global inequalities through characters’ disparate access to free, voluntary movement. I consider how the works respond to the question of the moral potential of encounters produced by im/mobilities and the possibility of connection across differences. I argue that Dominican and Cuban artists not only critique neo-colonial paradigms of power and im/mobility, but envision and enact strategies for belonging and, in some cases, suggest a path toward de-colonial cosmopolitanism.

Yo, poeta
Buesa alcanzó en vida una popularidad inusitada, tanto dentro de Cuba, como en el orbe del idioma español. Todavía hay personas en Hispanoamérica, incluso en España, y muchísimas en Cuba, que recuerdan de memoria sus versos, los cuales fueron gala en recitales de declamadores, sirvieron como letras de canciones, fueron oralizados por la radio y la televisión, y hasta declamados a veces parcialmente en algunos filmes. Pasaron manuscritos de mano en mano, se los leyeron entre sí novios de todas partes o sirvieron para declaraciones amorosas. Tal currículo emocional no siempre fue del agrado de los cultos e incisivos críticos; muchos de ellos han seguido considerando a Buesa como un bardo inferior, de calado emotivo populista, y por ello solía ser desposeído de mención o estudio en historias literarias, diccionarios, tesis académicas o de la profusión crítico-ensayística. Pero Buesa sigue vivo con su poesía al hombro. O mejor sea dicho: su poesía sigue viva, arrastrando consigo el nombre de su creador.
