Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Manuel Zapata Olivella and the Darkening of Latin American Literature is an examination of the fictional work of one of Latin Americas most prolific, yet overlooked, writers. Born in Colombia to parents of mixed ancestry, Zapata Olivella used his novels to explore the plight of the downtrodden in his nation and by extension the experience of blacks in other parts of the Americas. Author Antonio D. Tillis offers a critical examination of Zapata Olivellas major works of fiction from the 1940s to the 1990s, including Tierra mojada (1947); Pasin vagabunda (1949); He visto la noche (1953); La Calle 10 (1960); En Chim nace un santo (1963); Las claves mgicas de Amrica (1989); and Hemingway, el cazador de la muerte (1993).Tillis focuses on the development of the black aesthetic in Zapata Olivellas stories, in which the circumstances of the people of African heritage are centered in the narrative discourse. Tillis also traces Zapata Olivellas novelistic effort to incorporate the Africadescended subject into the literature of Latin America. A critical look at the placement of AfroLatin American protagonists reveals the sociopolitical and historical challenges of citizenship and community. In addition, this study explores tenets of postcolonial and postmodern thought such as place, displacement, marginalization, historiographic metafiction, and chronological disjuncture in relation to Zapata Olivellas fiction. Tillis concludes that the novelistic trajectory of this AfroColombian writer was one that brought into literary history an often overlooked subject: the disenfranchised citizen of African ancestry.By expanding and updating the current scholarship on Zapata Olivella, Tillis leads us to new contexts for and interpretations of this authors work. This analysis will be welcomed by readers who are just beginning to discover the writings of Zapata Olivella, and its new approach to those writings will be appreciated by scholars who are already familiar with his works.
