Описание: Costumbrismo, which refers to depictions of life in Latin America during the nineteenth century, introduced some of the earliest black themes in Cuban literature. Rafael Ocasio delves into this literature to offer up a new perspective on the development of Cuban identity, as influenced by black culture and religion, during the sugar cane boom.Comments about the slave trade and the treatment of slaves were often censored in Cuban publications; nevertheless white Costumbrista writers reported on a vast catalogue of stereotypes, religious beliefs, and musical folklore, and on rich African traditions in major Cuban cities. Exploring rare and seldom discussed nineteenth-century texts, Ocasio offers insight into the nuances of black representation in Costumbrismo while analyzing authors such as Sua'rez y Romero, an abolitionist who wrote from the perspective of a plantation owner.Afro-Cuban Costumbrismo expands the idea of what texts constitute Costumbrismo and debunks the traditional notion that this writing reveals little about the Afro-Cuban experience. The result is a novel examination of how white writers' representations of black culture heavily inform our current understanding of nineteenth-century Afro-Cuban culture and national identity.

Описание: Revisitar el costumbrismo. Cosmopolitismo, pedagogias y modernizacion en Iberoamerica es una recopilacion de articulos cuyo foco de estudio es el costumbrismo del siglo XIX como discurso que vehiculo y respondio a los procesos de modernizacion en Latinoamerica. Los trabajos que aqui se incluyen se acercan al costumbrismo discutiendo problematicas esteticas, culturales y politicas de distintas tradiciones latinoamericanas – Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Peru y Venezuela –, entrando en dialogo tambien con Espana. Nuestro objetivo con este proyecto es volver al costumbrismo latinoamericano para restituirle todo su grosor historico y estetico, alineandolo con otros debates sobre el siglo XIX que han abordado este periodo desde los estudios culturales y la critica literaria.
