This work makes a most significant contribution to the fields of Spanish American, Central American, and African diaspora literatures. It can be considered a 'first' in that it stands as an exhaustive analysis of the creative works of one of Costa Rica's most prolific fiction writers, Quince Duncan. This work provides students, critics, and enthusiasts with the first critical study of Duncan's literary corpus that takes into consideration his most recent works. -- Antonio D. Tillis, editor of Critical Perspectives on Afro-Latin American Literature One of the few studies of Duncan's complete works to include his contributions to Latin American literature in all genres. It is through Mosby's present study that the reader of Duncan's works will appreciate his challenge to the hegemony that has constructed Costa Rican discourse of identity that allows room for the marginalized racial and ethnic groups only under the designation of folklore. --Dawn F.
