Imagine the tension that existed between the emerging nations and
governments throughout the Latin American world and the cultural
life of former enslaved Africans and their descendants. A world of
cultural production, in the form of literature, poetry, art, music,
and eventually film, would often simultaneously contravene or
cooperate with the newly established order of Latin American
nations negotiating independence and a new political and cultural
balance. In Black Writing, Culture, and the State in Latin America,
Jerome Branche presents the reader with the complex landscape of
art and literature among Afro-Hispanic and Latin artists. Branche
and his contributors describe individuals such as Juan Francisco
Manzano, who wrote an antislavery novel in Cuba during the
nineteenth century. The reader finds a thriving Afro-Hispanic
theatrical presence throughout Latin America and even across the
Atlantic. The role of black women in poetry and literature comes to
the forefront in the Caribbean, presenting a powerful reminder of
the diversity that defines the region. All too often, the
disciplines of film studies, literary criticism, and art history
ignore the opportunity to collaborate in a dialogue. Branche and
his contributors present a unified approach, however, suggesting
that cultural production should not be viewed narrowly, especially
when studying the achievements of the Afro-Latin world.
