Reviews

Ultimately this study leaves us with a heightened awareness of how to understand and deconstruct more recent celebrations of and anxieties about Black people and their heritage and how to respond to the forces of incorporation, appropriation, and re-marginalization. --Leo Garofalo, author of Drinking, Divines, and Markets: Marking Race and Ethnicity in Colonial Peru The scholarship demonstrated in this book is highly impressive. This is the case (without exception) of all the essays collected in the volume. . . . Both individually and together, then, these essays constitute a comprehensive analytical coverage of relevant scholarship on the Afro-Iberian diaspora. --Conrad James, author of Filial Crisis and Erotic Politics in Black Cuban Literature: Daughters, Sons and Lovers
