Writing for Inclusion: Literature, Race, and National Identity in Nineteenth-Century Cuba and the United States - Paperback

by Karen Ruth Kornweibel (Author)

Writing for Inclusion examines four nineteenth-century Afro-Cuban and African American writers--Juan Francisco Manzano, Frederick Douglass, Martín Morúa Delgado, and Charles W. Chesnutt--whose works provide examples of self-emancipation, interrogate the terms of exclusion from the nation, and argue for inclusive visions of national identity.
