| Description | This subchapter investigates the deperipheralization of Cuban-American aesthetics by analyzing Achy Obejas’ novel Memory Mambo. The analysis demonstrates the importance of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, which symbolized a rupture leading to the creation of new aesthetic and literary practices. In the context of both US Latinx literature and Cuban insular literature, Cuban-American literature is situated within the transnational republic of letters. Drawing on this interpretation of this novel, it could be argued that both its thematics and poetics display the deperipheralization of the Cuban-American novel within the US literary space. |
