The Representation of Slavery in Cuban Fiction by Williams, Lorna Valerie
First Printing
Columbia, MO: University of Missouri Press, 1994. First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fine. The author examines the work of 6 antislavery writers from 19th century Cuba. Recognizing that these slave narratives represent the fledgling articulations of an emerging black voice, and also lay the foundation for 20th century Afro-Hispanic literary expression, she analyzes the authenticity of the slave protagonists' testimony - both in its content and mode of expression. Believing that a major discrepancy exists between the descriptions of slavery in works by writers of African descent and in works by others, the author argues that some antislavery writers were driven by their own personal agendas which often romanticized slavery, rather than by the realities of bondage. 220 pages with bibliography and index. The ffep has a bit of a sticker on it. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
