Miguel Arnedo-Gómez

4.9/5 (11479 ratings)

Description:The Cuban writer Nicol�s Guill�n has traditionally been considered a poet of mestizaje, a term that, whilst denoting racial mixture, also refers to a homogenizing nationalist discourse that proclaims the harmonious nature of Cuban identity. Yet, many aspects of Guill�n's work enhance black Cuban and Afro-Cuban identities. Miguel Arnedo-G�mez explores this paradox in Guill�n's pre-Cuban Revolution writings placing them alongside contemporaneous intellectual discourses that feigned adherence to the homogenizing ideology whilst upholding black interests. On the basis of links with these and other 1930s Cuban discourses, Arnedo-G�mez shows Guill�n's work to contain a message of black unity aimed at the black middle classes. Furthermore, against a tendency to seek a single authorial consciousness--be it mulatto or based on a North American construction of blackness--Guill�n's prose and poetry are also characterized as a struggle for a viable identity in a socio-culturally heterogeneous society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
