Olsen analyzes the African presence in Del amor y otros demonios, in which this culture takes a very central and explicit role, unlike in his other narrative works. This essay proposes that the novel, by giving a multitude of colonially-marginalized characters a voice, participates in a project to question colonialism and modernity that has traditionally silenced and excluded these groups in Latin American literary works.
