An expanded, updated edition of the classic study of Cuban-American culture, this engaging book, which mixes the author's own story with his reflections as a trained observer, explores how both famous and ordinary members of the "1.5 Generation" (Cubans who came to the United States as children or teens) have lived "life on the hyphen"--neither fully Cuban nor fully American, but a fertile hybrid of both.

The Cuban Condition
ISBN: 9780521027328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The sense of the radical newness of Spanish America found in literary works from the chronicles of the conquest to the work of the criollistas has more recently given way to a stronger recognition of the transatlantic roots of much Spanish-American literature. This indebtedness does not imply subservience; rather, the New World's cultural and literary autonomy lies in the distinctive ways in which it assimilated its cultural inheritance. Professor Perez Firmat explores this process of assimilation or transculturation in the case of Cuba, and proposes a new understanding of the issue of Cuban...

Idle Fictions: The Hispanic Vanguard Novel, 1926-1934, Expanded edition
ISBN: 9780822314233 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The "idle fictions" of the vanguard novel of the 1920s and 1930s in Spain and Spanish America represented a kind of interlude of playfulness--a vacation or parenthetical insertion--in what was perceived as the established course of the modern Hispanic novel's development. Yet, as Perez Firmat argues, though this genre saw itself as recreative and interstitial, it deliberately precipitated "a class war not between social classes but between literary classes." Concentrating on source material not widely available, Perez Firmat reconstructs the reception these novels received at the time of...

The Cuban Condition: Translation and Identity in Modern Cuban Literature
ISBN: 9780521327473 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The sense of the radical newness of Spanish America found in literary works from the chronicles of the conquest to the work of the criollistas has more recently given way to a stronger recognition of the transatlantic roots of much Spanish-American literature. This indebtedness does not imply subservience; rather, the New World's cultural and literary autonomy lies in the distinctive ways in which it assimilated its cultural inheritance.

Do the Americas Have a Common Literature?
ISBN: 9780822310723 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume takes an important step toward the discovery of a common critical heritage that joins the diverse literatures of North America and Latin America. Traditionally, literary criticism has treated the literature of the Americas as "New World" literature, examining it in relation to its "Old World"--usually European--counterparts. This collection of essays redirects the Eurocentric focus of earlier scholarship and identifies a distinctive pan-American consciousness.
The essays here place the literature of the Americas in a hemispheric context by drawing on approaches derived from... This volume takes an important step toward the discovery of a common critical heritage that joins the diverse literatures of North America and Latin A...
