The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature unearths a
buried African archive within widely-read Latinx writers of the
last fifty years. It challenges dominant narratives in World
Literature and transatlantic studies that ignore Africa's impact in
broader Latin American culture. Sarah Quesada argues that these
canonical works evoke textual memorials of African memory. She
shows how the African Atlantic haunts modern Latinx and Caribbean
writing, and examines the disavowal or distortion of the African
subject in the constructions of national, racial, sexual, and
spiritual Latinx identity. Quesada shows how themes such as the
19th century 'scramble for Africa,' the decolonizing wars, Black
internationalism, and the neoliberal turn are embedded in key
narratives. Drawing from multilingual archives about West and
Central Africa, she examines how the legacies of colonial French,
Iberian, British and U.S. Imperialisms have impacted on the
relationships between African and Latinx identities. This is the
first book-length project to address the African colonial and
imperial inheritance of Latinx literature.
