Black Resistance and Negotiation in Latin America

Black Resistance and Negotiation in Latin America: Runaway Slave Communities
Afro-Hispanic Review Special Issue

CFP Deadline: 1 August 2017

3 (2)

This special interdisciplinary issue of the Afro-Hispanic Review examines maroon communities in Latin America to reassess the concept of “maroonage,” escaping slavery, negotiation with slave-based and racist systems, and resistance against oppression from colonial times to the context of our globalized world. Taking as point of departure recent literary, cultural, linguistic, historical, archeological, and anthropological studies, this issue will problematize the ideas of resistance and negotiation within Afro-diasporic studies at large, thus including material culture, social movements, and postcolonial studies. The issue celebrates UNESCO’s designation of 2015-2024 as the Decade of the Afrodescendant, bringing together representatives and works from various regions of Latin America. Editor William Luis and Guest Editors John Maddox and Graciela Maglia invite submissions of articles (20-30 pages, 2016 MLA Style [8th ed.]) by 1 August 2017. Submissions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese will be considered. Editors will also consider relevant creative writing, interviews, book reviews, and unpublished materials.

Please submit articles in Microsoft Word as attachments sent to editor@afrohispanicreview.com. Please contact the guest editors directly at jtmaddox@uab.edu or gracielamaglia@gmail.com with any inquiries regarding this special issue on runaway slave communities.
