Description
Alvarez Borland, Isabel, and Lynette M. F. Bosch, eds. Cuban-American Literature and Art: Negotiating Identities. New York: SUNY P, 2009. 234 pp. ISBN 978-0-7914-9373-1 This collection of essays on Cuban-American identity--which comes out of a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar on Cuban-American Philosophy, Art and Literature--initially surprises the reader for the quality and scholarly reputation of the critics who collaborate in the volume, all of them distinguished professors and of Cuban-American ancestry as well. The book explores--as it subtitle indicates--how Cuban American writers and artists (mostly painters) negotiate their hyphenated identity through their artistic production. After an introduction by the editors, the book is divided in two sections, "The Literature" (chapters 1-7) and "The Art" (chapters 8-12). Although the first section is longer, two of its chapters (Isabel Alvarez Borland's and William Luis's) study the relationship between the printed word and photography in different works, helping to ease the transition from the literature of the first part into the art of the second.
