Quince Duncan's Weathered Men and The Four Mirrors, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018 Two Novels of Afro-Costa Rican Identity Afro-Latin@ Diasporas Series
Auteur : Mosby Dorothy E.
Quince Duncan is one of the most significant yet understudied Black writers in the Americas. A third-generation Afro-Costa Rican of West Indian heritage, he is the first novelist of African descent to tell the story of Jamaican migration to Costa Rica. Duncan?s work has been growing in popularity among scholars and teachers of Afro-Latin American literature and African Diaspora Studies.
This translation brings two of his major novels to English-speaking audiences for the first time, Weathered Men and The Four Mirrors. The book will be invaluable for those eager to develop further their background in Afro-Latin American literature, and it will enable students and faculty members in other fields such as comparative literature to engage with the burgeoning area of Afro-Latin American literary studies.
Dorothy E. Mosby is Associate Dean of Faculty and Professor of Spanish, Latina/o, and Latin American Studies at Mount Holyoke College, USA. She is also a member and former chair of the Africana Studies Program. She is author of Quince Duncan: Writing Afro-Costa Rican and Afro-Caribbean Identity (2014) and Place, Language, and Identity in Afro-Costa Rican Literature (2003).
