The Cambridge History of Cuban Literature
Extending from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century, The Cambridge History of Cuban Literature is the first book in English to tell the intricate story of Cuban literary-intellectual culture from the seventeenth-century to the twenty-first century. This landmark book highlights the intricacies of linguistic and cultural translation embodied in telling a story in English about a body of work expressed predominantly in Spanish, but also Fren…
“Colombes et Menfenil” in Text and Image
This essay examines a little-studied aesthetic collaboration between Aimé Césaire and Wifredo Lam to depict doves and a bird of prey (called “menfenil”) in text and image. “Colombes et menfenil” was the title of a selection of poems by Césaire that was published in Hémisphères magazine in 1944 with an illustration by Wifredo Lam. Both birds also appear in Césaire’s Cahier d’un retour au pays natal and Lam’s illustrations of the Spanish translatio…

Con-Federating the Archipelago
This essay introduces the special section "Con-Federating the Archipelago: The Confederación Antillana and the West Indies Federation," which interrogates the literary, intellectual, social, and political imaginaries fomented by the Confederación Antillana (Antillean Confederation) and the West Indies Federation, with the aim of promoting comparative studies and dialogue among scholars working on these two political projects. The Confederación An…
The Void, the Distance, Elsewhere
Given the importance of literature to various forms of social cohesion, it is not surprising that the European and US empires that have dominated the geopolitical existence of the insular Caribbean have not readily invested in literary infrastructure throughout the archipelago. The impact of empire on infrastructure for the production of Caribbean literature remains underexamined at large, however. Accounting for the political and economic dimens…
Un-nationalisms of the Federated Archipelago
The West Indies Federation, like the Confederación Antillana from the nineteenth century, was structured by a tension between the dream of a future Pan-Caribbean nation and the prospect of a sovereign archipelagic political body that would exceed the scope of the nation-state. Because of this tension, even if the vocabulary of "Caribbean nationalism" appears to determine debates about the drive to anticolonial sovereignty embedded in the project …
Sounding the Americas
In this essay I consider the politics and aesthetics of racialised acoustics throughout the Americas through debates generated by two recent innovative books in Latin American and Caribbean sound studies, Acoustic Properties: Radio, Narrative, and The New Neighborhood of the Americas by Tom McEnaney and Audible Geographies in Latin America: Sounds of Race and Place by Dylon Lamar Robbins. These two books take interdisciplinary, transhistorical, m…
Cabrera's Césaire
Aimé Césaire's first book appeared in Cuba, in Spanish translation, in 1943. The book features his most celebrated and circulated poem, "Notebook of a return to the native land," translated by Lydia Cabrera, a writer and ethnologist from Cuba. I argue that Césaire's poem did not merely cross between, or over, languages and places in the event of this translation. Instead, Cabrera's translation project crossed with Césaire's poem, transforming it …
Ghosts of Dominican Past, Ghosts of Dominican Present
This essay examines important contributions made by Dixa Ramírez's book Colonial Phantoms: Belonging and Refusal in the Dominican Americas, from the 19th Century to the Present (2018) to Dominican, Caribbean, and African diaspora literary and cultural studies. It argues for amplifying the study of imperial and nationalist forms of misrecognition, which Ramírez calls "ghosting." It also argues that a focus on past and present exercises of power as…
Poetic Productions of Cultural Combat inTropiques
Tropiques, produced in Martinique between 1941 and 1945, was one of the most influential Caribbean instances of the modernist little magazine, or petit revue. The magazine was a collaborative cultural venture that saw Martinique through its subjection to Vichy rule and ended when direct political participation became possible for its generators. Tropiques was first conceived by Aimé Césaire and edited by him, the philosopher René Ménil, and the c…
