Equatorial Guinean Literature in Its National and Transnational Contexts
No Customer Reviews
This is the first book to interpret the African dimension of contemporary Hispanic literature. Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony, is the only African country in which Spanish is an official language and which has a tradition of literature in Spanish. This is a study of the literature produced by the nation's writers from 2007 to 2013. Since its independence in 1968, Equatorial Guinea has been ruled by dictators under whom ethnic differences have been exacerbated, poverty and violence have increased, and critical voices have been silenced. The result has been an exodus of intellectuals--including writers who express their national and exile experiences in their poems, plays, short stories, and novels. The writers discussed include Juan Tom?s ?vila Laurel, Donato Ndongo-Bidyogo, and Guillermina Mekuy, among others.
