Reading work that circulates and resonates in multiple ways across the Atlantic, this is a book that brings together decolonial, critical race, and multilingual approaches to propose a wholly new cartography for the Black Atlantic, bringing timely new attention on the Hispanophone world.” —Tsitsi Jaji, author of \u003ci\u003eMother Tongues: Poems\u003c\/i\u003e (Northwestern University Press, 2019)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Decolonizing Diasporas \u003c\/i\u003eis a tour-de-force: it realigns how we think of Latinx literary studies so that the field includes the literature of Equatorial Guinea, thereby necessarily confronting the anti-blackness and, more specifically, anti-Africanness, that has historically been foundational to our discipline. Yomaira C. Figueroa-VÁsquez provides for us a prototype by which to question, interrogate, reconsider, and reconfigure Afro-Atlantic Hispanophone subjectivity; everyone who studies the African continent and its diasporas should read this book.” —Vanessa K.
