توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب Quince Duncan: Writing Afro-costa Rican and Caribbean Identity
توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
Quince Duncan is a comprehensive study of the
published short stories and novels of Costa Rica’s first
novelist of African descent and one of the nation’s most
esteemed contemporary writers.
The grandson of Jamaican and Barbadian immigrants to Limón,
Quince Duncan (b. 1940) incorporates personal memories into
stories about first generation Afro–West Indian immigrants
and their descendants in Costa Rica. Duncan’s novels, short
stories, recompilations of oral literature, and essays
intimately convey the challenges of Afro–West Indian contract
laborers and the struggles of their descendants to be
recognized as citizens of the nation they helped bring into
modernity.
Through his storytelling, Duncan has become an important
literary and cultural presence in a country that forged its
national identity around the leyenda blanca (white
legend) of a rural democracy established by a homogeneous
group of white, Catholic, and Spanish peasants. By presenting
legends and stories of Limón Province as well as discussing
the complex issues of identity, citizenship, belonging, and
cultural exile, Duncan has written the story of West Indian
migration into the official literary discourse of Costa Rica.
His novels Hombres curtidos (1970) and Los cuatro
espejos (1973) in particular portray the Afro–West Indian
community in Limón and the cultural intolerance encountered
by those of African-Caribbean descent who migrated to San
José. Because his work follows the historical trajectory from
the first West Indian laborers to the contemporary concerns
of Afro–Costa Rican people, Duncan is as much a cultural
critic and sociologist as he is a novelist.
In Quince Duncan, Dorothy E. Mosby combines
biographical information on Duncan with geographic and
cultural context for the analysis of his works, along with
plot summaries and thematic discussions particularly helpful
to readers new to Duncan.
