âDelves into the historical convergence of peoples and cultural traditions that both enrich and problematize notions of national belonging, identity, culture, and citizenship.ââAntonio D. Tillis, editor of Critical Perspectives on Afro-Latin American LiteratureâWith rich detail and theoretical complexity, Watson reinterprets Panamanian literature, dismantling longstanding nationalist interpretations and linking the country to the Black Atlantic and beyond. An engaging and important contribution to our understanding of Afro-Latin America.ââPeter Szok, author of Wolf Tracks: Popular Art and Re-Africanization in Twentieth-Century PanamaâIlluminates the deeper discourse of African-descendant identities that runs through Panama and other Central American countries.ââDawn Duke, author of Literary Passion, Ideological Commitment: Toward a Legacy of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian Women WritersThis volume tells the story of two cultural groups: Afro-Hispanics, whose ancestors came to Panama as African slaves, and West Indians from the English-speaking countries of Jamaica and Barbados who arrived during the mid-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries to build the railroad and the Panama Canal. While Afro-Hispanics assimilated after centuries of mestizaje (race mixing) and now identify with their Spanish heritage, West Indians hold to their British Caribbean roots and identify more closely with Africa and the Caribbean. By examining the writing of black Panamanian authors, Sonja Watson highlights how race is defined, contested, and inscribed in Panama. She discusses the cultural, racial, and national tensions that prevent these two groups from forging a shared Afro-Panamanian identity, ultimately revealing why ethnically diverse Afro-descendant populations continue to struggle to create racial unity in nations across Latin America and the Caribbean. A volume in the series Latin American and Caribbean Arts and Culture, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Â

El "viejo y venerado" maestro Próspero dirige un discurso a sus jóvenes alumnos con motivo del fin de cursos. Pero, ¿por qué el tÃtulo de la obra? "Ariel, genio del aire, representa âen el simbolismo de La tempestad de Shakespeareâ la parte noble y alada del espÃritu. Ariel es el imperio de la razón y el sentimiento sobre los bajos estÃmulos de la irracionalidad; es también el entusiasmo generoso, el móvil alto y desinteresado en la acción, la espiritualidad de la cultura, la vivacidad y la gracia de la inteligencia, el término ideal a que asciende la selección humana, rectificando en el hombre superior los tenaces vestigios de Calibán, sÃmbolo de sensualidad y de torpeza, con el cincel perseverante de la vida." La inolvidable lección da principio con las palabras de Goethe "sólo es digno de la libertad y la vida, quien es capaz de conquistarlas dÃa a dÃa para sÃ", y el maestro Próspero las fortalece y amplÃa al decir que "el honor de cada generación exige que ella (la libertad) se conquiste por la perseverante actividad de su pensamiento, por el esfuerzo propio, y por su fe en determinado ideal; para lo cual es necesario, primero, la fe en nosotros mismos".
