[email protected]. HACIA UN MAPA EX-CÉNTRICO DE LO AFRO-HISPANO: NOTAS SOBRE UN META-ARCHIPIÉLAGO DESBORDADO by Brian J. Gunderson A dissertation submitted to the Graduate College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Spanish Western Michigan University April 2014 Doctoral Committee: Antonio Isea, Ph.D., Chair Irma López, Ph.D. Michael Millar, Ph.D. Kristina Wirtz, Ph.D. HACIA UN MAPA EX-CÉNTRICO DE LO AFRO-HISPANO: NOTAS SOBRE UN META-ARCHIPIÉLAGO DESBORDADO Brian J. Gunderson, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2014 This project proposes a study of works from 20th and 21st Century Latin American Literature and its representation of “lo afro” (blackness). While most studies have focused on the Caribbean, I am interested in working with regions of Latin America that have a history of African heritage that has either been “whitewashed” or erased since the 19th Century creation of independent nations.
