This book was released on 2017-04-30. ¡Manteca! available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. “We defy translation,” Sandra María Esteves writes. “Nameless/we are a whole culture/once removed.” She is half Dominican, half Puerto Rican, with indigenous and African blood, born in the Bronx. Like so many of the contributors, she is a blend of cultures, histories and languages. Containing the work of more than 40 poets—equally divided between men and women—who self-identify as Afro-Latino, ¡Manteca! is the first poetry anthology to highlight writings by Latinos of African descent. The themes covered are as diverse as the authors themselves. Many pieces rail against a system that institutionalizes poverty and racism. Others remember parents and grandparents who immigrated to the United States in search of a better life, only to learn that the American Dream is a nightmare for someone with dark skin and nappy hair. But in spite of the darkness, faith remains. Anthony Morales’ grandmother, like so many others, was “hardwired to hold on to hope.” There are love poems to family and lovers. And music—salsa, merengue, jazz—permeates this collection. Editor and scholar Melissa Castillo-Garsow writes in her introduction that “the experiences and poetic expression of Afro-Latinidad were so diverse” that she could not begin to categorize it. Some write in English, others in Spanish. They are Puerto Rican, Dominican and almost every combination conceivable, including Afro-Mexican. Containing the work of well-known writers such as Pedro Pietri, Miguel Piñero and E. Ethelbert Miller, less well-known ones are ready to be discovered in these pages.

Download and read online ebook Afro-Mexican Constructions of Diaspora, Gender, Identity and Nation write by Paulette Ramsay. This book was released on 2016. Afro-Mexican Constructions of Diaspora, Gender, Identity and Nation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Paulette Ramsay's study analyses cultural and literary material produced by Afro-Mexicans on the Costa Chica de Guerrero y Oaxaca, Mexico, to undermine and overturn claims of mestizaje or Mexican homogeneity.The interdisciplinary research draws on several theoretical constructs: cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, masculinity studies, gender studies, feminist criticisms, and broad postcolonial and postmodernist theories, especially as they relate to issues of belonging, diaspora, cultural identity, gender, marginalization, subjectivity and nationhood. The author points to the need to bring to an end all attempts at extending the discourse, whether for political or other reasons, that there are no identifiable Afro-descendants in Mexico. The undeniable existence of distinctively black Mexicans and their contributions to Mexican multiculturalism is patently recorded in these pages.The analyses also aid the agenda of locating Afro-Mexican literary and cultural production within a broad Caribbean aesthetics, contributing to the expansion of the Caribbean as a broader cultural and historical space which includes Central and Latin America."This seminal work will provoke much-needed rehistoricization of the national histories relating to Mexico. . . . The varied theoretical paradigms used to frame the critical arguments add to the intellectual richness of the work. . . . This work is a critical and exhaustive study that significantly advances scholarship on Afro-Mexico . . . [and] forges an interdisciplinary conversation on blacks in the region like no other work before it."--Antonio D. Tillis, Professor of Hispanic Studies and Dean, School of Languages, Cultures, and World Affairs, College of Charleston"The text excels in its reading of the popular poetry of Afro-Mexicans of Costa Chica and situates these texts in a clear and coherent way that will be greatly appreciated by students and scholars. The author contextualizes all of the texts (corridos and poetry) with careful analysis and interpretation. . . . This work represents the first comprehensive study of the literary/cultural production of Afro-Mexicans in book-length form."--Dorothy E. Mosby, Professor of Spanish, Latina/o, Latin American Studies, Mount Holyoke College
