Download or read book Black in Latin America written by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World during the Middle Passage. While just over 11.0 million survived the arduous journey, only about 450,000 of them arrived in the United States. The rest-over ten and a half million-were taken to the Caribbean and Latin America. This astonishing fact changes our entire picture of the history of slavery in the Western hemisphere, and of its lasting cultural impact. These millions of Africans created new and vibrant cultures, magnificently compelling syntheses of various African, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish influences. Despite their great numbers, the cultural and social worlds that they created remain largely unknown to most Americans, except for certain popular, cross-over musical forms. So Henry Louis Gates, Jr. set out on a quest to discover how Latin Americans of African descent live now, and how the countries of their acknowledge-or deny-their African past; how the fact of race and African ancestry play themselves out in the multicultural worlds of the Caribbean and Latin America. Starting with the slave experience and extending to the present, Gates unveils the history of the African presence in six Latin American countries-Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, and Peru-through art, music, cuisine, dance, politics, and religion, but also the very palpable presence of anti-black racism that has sometimes sought to keep the black cultural presence from view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gates of the Caribbean: The Story of a Great White Fleet Caribbean Cruise It is one of the compensations of modern life that a voyage is no longer, as the ironic French peasant was accustomed to describe it, "a little death." So far indeed have we come from the times when a traveler was looked upon as a creature of mysterious mental moods, strangely afflicted with a desire to go somewhere, that the possession of a wardrobe trunk is now of no more significance than a camera or a bag of golf clubs. It is indeed the thing to do, not so much from the selfish motive of improving one's mind, as for the finer fancy of seeing what the world is like and, speaking internationally, calling on the neighbors. But going south, heading for one of the Gates of that alluring congeries of romance and modernity we call the Caribbean, our emotions have certain special qualities apart from those engendered by any ordinary trip abroad. Without entering into a lengthy disquisition as to the merits of our educational system, it must be conceded that when we speak of foreign parts we think readily of Europe, just as the Englishman, when America is mentioned, thinks at once of the United States. And so when we start southward, embarked at length upon our expedition to what we may conveniently call Latin-America, we have, quite possibly, a new curiosity, a vague notion of doing something romantic, and behind that, a few fantastic illusions as to where we are going and what we are about to see. And it is to be noted at the outset that the enterprise is carried out under the more or less normal conditions of a comfortable human existence. It may conduce to the happiness of some to become microscopic units in a vessel so enormous that one may cross the ocean in it without ever seeing it, or spend many hours losing one's way in its interminable corridors. On the other hand, it is in accordance with average temperaments to find this vessel of ours, just and gracile in her modelling, spacious and modestly beautiful in her garnitures, an adequate substitute for the houses and country clubs we have left amid the wintery landscape at home. That same wintery landscape, however, will be already receding by the time we have adjusted our personalities to the novel environment of shipboard life. It is a favorite recreation of witty folk to make disparaging remarks concerning the habits of those who travel by sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time the Dutch-speaking regions of the Caribbean and Suriname are brought into fruitful dialogue with another major American literature, that of the anglophone Caribbean. The results are as stimulating as they are unexpected. The editors have coordinated the work of a distinguished international team of specialists. Read separately or as a set of three volumes, the History of Literature in the Caribbean is designed to serve as the primary reference book in this area. The reader can follow the comparative evolution of a literary genre or plot the development of a set of historical problems under the appropriate heading for the English- or Dutch-speaking region. An extensive index to names and dates of authors and significant historical figures completes the volume. The subeditors bring to their respective specialty areas a wealth of Caribbeanist experience. Vera M. Kutzinski is Professor of English, American, and Afro-American Literature at Yale University. Her book Sugar’s Secrets: Race and The Erotics of Cuban Nationalism, 1993, treated a crucial subject in the romance of the Caribbean nation. Ineke Phaf-Rheinberger has been very active in Latin American and Caribbean literary criticism for two decades, first at the Free University in Berlin and later at the University of Maryland. The editor of A History of Literature in the Caribbean, A. James Arnold, is Professor of French at the University of Virginia, where he founded the New World Studies graduate program. Over the past twenty years he has been a pioneer in the historical study of the Négritude movement and its successors in the francophone Caribbean.
