A Century of Cuban Writers in Florida: Selected Prose and PoetryCarolina Hospital, Jorge Cantera "Prose and poetry by 33 writers, arranged in chronological groups from 19th century to present. Interesting introduction by editors explores long history of contact and cultural ties between Florida and Cuba. Selection includes well-known figures (Martâi, Cabrera, Padilla) alongside less famous ones. Some texts originally written in English. Literary quality of texts is uneven, but volume is useful for the classroom"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. |
