Atlantis Otherwise expands the study of the African diaspora by
focusing on postcolonial literary expressions from Latin America
and Africa. The book studies the presence of classical references
in texts written by writers (black and non-black) who are committed
to the articulation of the fragmented history of the African
experience from the Middle Passage to the present outside of
Euro-centric views. Consequently, this book addresses the silencing
of the African Diaspora within the official discourses of Latin
America and Hispanic Africa, as well as the limitations that
linguistic and geographic boundaries have imposed upon scholarship.
The contributors address questions related to the categories of
race and cultural identity by analyzing a diverse body of
Afro-Latin American and Afro-Hispanic receptions of classical
literature and its imaginaries. Literary texts in Spanish and
Portuguese written in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and
Equatorial Guinea provide the opportunity for a transnational and
trans-linguistic examination of the use of classical tropes and
themes in twentieth-century drama, fiction, folklore studies, and
narrative.
