About the Book
In Cuban Literature in the Age of Black Insurrection: Manzano, Plácido, and Afro-Latino Religion, Matthew Pettway presents an essential reframing of the lives and works of two renowned Afro-Cuban writers, reconnecting their writing with the African Atlantic context from which it should never have been disconnected.
