The Latino Continuum and the Nineteenth-Century Americas argues
that the process of recovering Latina/o figures and writings in the
nineteenth century does not merely create a bridge between the US
and Latin American countries, peoples, and literatures, as they are
currently understood. Instead, it reveals their fundamentally
interdependent natures, politically, socially, historically, and
aesthetically, thereby recognizing the degree of mutual imbrication
of their peoples and literatures of the period. Largely archived in
Spanish, it addresses concerns palpably felt within (and integral
to) the US and beyond. English-language works also find a place on
this continuum and have real implications for the political and
cultural life of hispanophone and anglophone communities in the US.
Moreover, the central role of Latina/o translations signal the
global and the local nature of the continuum. For the Latino
Continuum embeds layered and complex political and literary
contexts and overlooked histories, situated as it is at the
crossroads of both hemispheric and translatlantic currents of
exchange often effaced by the logic of borders-national, cultural,
religious, linguistic and temporal. To recover this continuum of
Latinidad, which is neither confined to the US or Latin American
nation states nor located primarily within them, is to recover
forgotten histories of the hemisphere, and to find new ways of
seeing the past as we have understood it. The figures of the Felix
Varela, Miguel Teurbe Tolon, Eusebio Guiteras, Jose Marti and
Martin Morua Delgado serve as points of departures for this
reconceptualization of the intersection between American, Latin
American, Cuban, and Latinx studies.
