Opis

Postcolonial Archipelagos crosses geographic and linguistic boundaries, by focusing on writers from two different postcolonial regions: the Hispanic Caribbean (Junot Díaz, Eduardo Lalo, Marta Aponte, James Stevens-Arce and Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá) and Lusophone Africa (Mia Couto, José Luis Mendonça and Guilherme Mendes da Silva).
