Cuba's Wild East : A Literary Geography of Oriente Hardback
by Peter Hulme
Part of the American Tropics: Towards a Literary Geography series
Hardback
Description
Cuba's Wild East: A Literary Geography of Oriente recounts a literary history of modern Cuba that has four distinctive and interrelated characteristics. Oriented to the east of the island, it looks aslant at a Cuban national literature that has sometimes been indistinguishable from a history of Havana.
Given the insurgent and revolutionary history of that eastern region, it recounts stories of rebellion, heroism, and sacrifice.
Intimately related to places and sites which now belong to a national pantheon, its corpus-while including fiction and poetry-is frequently written as memoir and testimony.
As a region of encounter, that corpus is itself resolutely mixed, featuring a significant proportion of writings by US journalists and novelists as well as by Cuban writers.
