Abstract
Abstract:This essay introduces a special section on the Afro-Cuban poet and intellectual Nancy Morejón's 1982 book Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás Guillén (Nation and Mestizaje in Nicolás Guillén). It sets up the contributors by surveying the literary and political trajectory of Morejón's career in the years leading up to the publication of the book, focusing in part on her silencing by the Cuban state because of earlier activities centered on Afro-Cuban rights. The essay considers the themes and arguments of Nación y mestizaje, recognizing the surfaces, depths, and fissures of its actual and apparent doctrinaire lauding of Guillén as exemplar of Cuba's cultural politics.
摘要:本文专门介绍了古巴黑人诗人、知识分子南希·Morejón 1982年出版的著作Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás guillacimen (Nation and mestizaje in Nicolás guillacimen)。这本书通过调查Morejón在出版前几年的文学和政治生涯轨迹来设置撰稿人,部分关注她因早期以非洲裔古巴人权利为中心的活动而被古巴政府噤声。本文考虑了Nación y meestizaje的主题和论点,认识到其实际和明显的教条主义赞美guillemassan作为古巴文化政治典范的表面,深度和裂缝。
