Reviews

"Unique to this volume is the scholarly presentation of the presence of a group of people in Ghana ... Undoubtedly, both this surprising feature of Latin Americans returning to the African continent and the book as a whole will stimulate further discussion on the issue of who is Black and who is Hispanic as well as generate continued, in-depth research on the relationship between two continents and their shared genotypology." - Mixed Race Studies

"Looking at blackness, aesthetics, and racism, the author treads his way with care, providing four essays that fit together well ... he links aesthetics and negritude through analyses of work by such writers as Manuel Zapata Olivella (Colombia), Junot Dkaz (Dominican Republic), Nancy Morejón (Cuba), Celestino Gorostiza (Mexico), Nicolis Guillén (Cuba), Luis Palés Matos (Puerto Rico), and Julia Alvarez and Loida Maritza Pérez (both contemporary Dominicans). Recommended." – CHOICE
