Opis

In this breakthrough study, Emily Maguire examines how a cadre of writers reimagined Cuba and re-valorized Afro-Cuban culture through a textual production that incorporated elements of the ethnographic with the literary. Singling out the work of Lydia Cabrera, Maguire constructs a series of counterpoints that place Cabrera's work in dialogue with that of her Cuban contemporaries.
