This volume considers the African Diaspora through the
underexplored Afro-Latino experience in the Caribbean and South
America. Utilizing both established and emerging approaches such as
feminism and Atlantic studies, the authors explore the production
of historical and contemporary identities and cultural practices
within and beyond the boundaries of the nation-state. Rewriting the
African Diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America illustrates how
far the fields of Afro-Latino and African Diaspora studies have
advanced beyond the Herskovits and Frazier debates of the 1940s.
The book's arguments complicate Herskovits' insistence on Black
culture being an exclusive reflection of African survivals, as well
as Frazier's counter-claim of African American culture being a
result of slavery and colonialism. This collection of
thought-provoking essays extends the concepts of diaspora and
transnationalism, forcing the reader to reassess their present
limitations as interpretive tools. In the process, Afro-Latinos are
rendered visible as national actors and transnational citizens.
This book was originally published as a special issue of African
and Black Diaspora.
