Trent Masiki remedies this problem by bringing critical attention to the understudied African American influences in Afro-Latino memoirs published after the advent of the Black Arts movement. Masiki shows how Afro-Latino memoir writers often turn to the African American experience as a model for articulating their Afro-Latinidad. African American literary production, expressive culture, political ideology, and religiosity shaped Afro-Latino subjectivity more profoundly than typically imagined between the post-war and post-soul eras"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (JSTOR platform, viewed September 27, 2023) Subject Thomas, Piri, 1928-2011 -- Criticism and interpretation Moore, Carlos -- Criticism and interpretation Vega, Marta Moreno -- Criticism and interpretation Chambers, Veronica -- Criticism and interpretation Cepeda, Raquel -- Criticism and interpretation Cepeda, Raquel Chambers, Veronica Moore, Carlos Thomas, Piri, 1928-2011 Vega, Marta Moreno American literature -- Hispanic American authors -- History and criticism American literature -- African American authors -- History and criticism Autobiography. autobiography (genre) Hispanic American.
