1 vol., "En este primer volumen de Historia Afrouruguaya se abordan aspectos de las culturas africanas antes de la trata de esclavizados y sus costumbres. Se indica cuáles fueron los pueblos de África que estuvieron forzadamente aquí, su ubicación geográfica y los países que se beneficiaron con el tráfico humano. Ya en el Prólogo, realizado por Fidèle Diarra, Embajador de la República de Malí en Cuba, se comienzan a aportar aspectos en muchos puntos novedosos acerca de la presencia africana anterior a Colón en lo que sería luego llamado América. Oscar Montaño analiza censos y estadísticas para establecer la cantidad de población afro que habitaba Montevideo a comienzos del siglo XIX, las actividades que debieron realizar, la violencia que sufrieron y la forma en que lograron sobrevivir. El origen del Candombe y los primeros cantos de protesta de los africanos en estas tierras se abordan en el Capítulo final." --Back cover.

Notes:
287 p, Eexamines how a number of "foundational" Argentine authors—Echeverría, Mármol, Sarmiento, Ingenieros, Lugones, and others—either repressed the Afro-Argentine past or portrayed Afro-Argentines in profoundly racist ways. José Hernández (Martín Fierro) and Borges, in their allegedly sympathetic treatment of Afro-Argentines, were notable exceptions. The book has some appealing aspects. Extensive excerpts from the authors Solomianski examines—including, in Chapter 7, from nineteenth-century black newspapers and writers—give readers a vivid sense of literary representations of blackness in Argentina. And his analysis of Afro-Argentine characters in twentieth-century films, plays (including the patriotic skits presented in public elementary and high schools), and tangos is revealing and suggestive.

The Caribbean space is characterized by its cultural pluralism and is the scene of one of the most complex processes of syncretism and transculturation in America. Music, as an element of integration and at the same time of regional differentiation, is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the people of the Caribbean and is strongly associated with the identity that defines the region.

This study examines the identity categories of gender and race in the Cuban context of the first thirty years of the Revolution and focuses on black and mulata women, in which both categories converge. In this work I analyze the literary discourse of the Afro-Cuban female poets between the 1960s and 1980s and discern the role of self-representation that each of these poets constructs within the framework of "being black" or "mulata" woman. Also, since gender and race are redefined by the dominant power, this project analyzes the political hegemonic discourse of the period in relation to race and gender, and illuminates its role in preserving racial stereotypes as well as the patriarchal normatives of gender.

Notes:
249 p., "On the opposite side of the Paraguay River, the Gran Chaco, has founded a large quilombo or establishment of fugitives, where Brazil and Argentina, eastern and Paraguayans live together in mutual friendship or enmity with the rest of the world." So wrote Sir Richard Burton, traveling consul of Her Britannic Majesty. War was declared. In this fictional account the authors recreate alternatives to that struggle: dialogue between General Mitre and his deputy, the painter Candido Lopez; the last period of resistance Marshal Solano Lopez and his wife, Madame Lynch; the defection of Argentine captain Francisco Paunero; the secret archives of General Rocha Uruguayan Dellpiane, and the anodyne existence of Baron VII Ramalho, a descendant of one of the conspirators of Quilombo Gran Chaco.
