Inspired by the legacy of Amefrican thinker L駘ia Gonzalez, \u003ci\u003eAm馭rica in Letters\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the Black poets, songwriters, novelists, essayists, and bloggers who have created a counter-multiculturalist literary history on the Latin American mainland. To capture a sense of the variety of their contributions, this book spans Mexico, Central America, the Andes, and the Southern Cone--highlighting the transcontinental nature of the legacy of Black writing and its impact beyond national boundaries. The writers examined in the volume engage with regional intellectual frameworks while putting into circulation a demand for a recalibration of the Hispanophone and Lusophone contexts in which they and other Afrodescendants reside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Carolina Gez Menj咩ar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826505147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826505149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Jennifer Carolina Gez Menj咩ar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070868189439,"sku":"9780826505149","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_923fd58d-8cb7-411d-8474-ad9f3a446bf3.jpg?v=1685432799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amfrica-in-letters-jennifer-carolina-g-mez-menjvar-9780826505149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
