Recenzje

'This collection of essays provides readers with both specific and theoretical explorations of Spain’s most pressing issue today: a new presence of Africa. Every essay answers in its own way a fundamental question: How is Spain’s relation to Africa changing in this age of globalization? The contributors deal with the complexity of this new cultural reality with sophistication and deep understanding.' Michael Ugarte, University of Missouri, USA 'This rich and exciting collection of essays offers insightful readings of literature, film, music, art, websites and blogs produced by Spaniards, African immigrants and African authors from Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea. It is a must read for anybody interested in issues of race, gender, agency, power and representation.' Daniela Flesler, Stony Brook University, USA
