The sense of the radical newness of Spanish America found in literary works from the chronicles of the conquest to the work of the criollistas has more recently given way to a stronger recognition of the transatlantic roots of much SpanishAmerican literature. This indebtedness does not imply subservience; rather, the New World's cultural and literary autonomy lies in the distinctive ways in which it assimilated its cultural inheritance. Professor Prez Firmat explores this process of assimilation or transculturation in the case of Cuba, and proposes a new understanding of the issue of Cuban national identity through revisionary readings of both literary and nonliterary works by Juan Marinello, Fernando Ortiz, Nicolds Guilln, Alejo Carpentier and others, dating from the early decades of the twentieth century, a time of intense selfreflection in the nation's history. Using a critical vocabulary derived from these works, he argues that Cuban identity is translational rather than foundational and that cubana emerges from a nuanced, selfconscious recasting of foreign models.
