A dual language edition of Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's masterpiece: set in Havana in the mid-19th century, the drama presents the obstacles to a mixed-race relationship between a son of the nobility and a woman of African ancestry. This unique version was edited and annotated by Dr. J. Delgado-Figueroa, author of "Our Father Takes and Bride" and "Lamentos Boricanos," former professor of Spanish literature and linguistics at the universities of Minnesota, Puerto Rico and South Carolina, as well as a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute. This edition includes Spanish-language biographical notes, a select bibliography and an essay by Dr. Delgado-Figueroa on racism in literature, popular culture and communication media in Cuba and Puerto Rico from the sixteenth century to the present.

LAJSA Book Award Winner, 2017, Latin American Jewish Studies Association As Cuba industrialized in the nineteenth century, an epochal realignment of the social order occurred. In this period of change, two seemingly disparate, yet nevertheless intertwined, ideological forces appeared: anti-Semitism and abolitionism. As the antislavery movement became organized in Cuba, the argument grew that Jews participated in the African slave trade and in New World slavery, and that this participation gave Jews extraordinary influence in the new Cuban economy and culture. What was remarkable about this anti-Semitism was the decidedly small Jewish population on the island in this era. This form of anti-Semitism, Silverstein reveals, sprang almost exclusively from mythological beliefs.

THE EVIL BANALITY OF RACISM: Puerto Rico Before and After Tapia y Rivera's La cuarterona examines the social tapestry that has resulted from African slavery in Puerto Rico and Cuba since the sixteenth century. Its starting point is the rhetorical space created by abolitionist drama La cuarterona (The Quadroon), by Puerto Rican playrwright Alejandro Tapia y Rivera (1826-1882). The essay is a deep analysis of racist attitudes, documented objectively as well as from the author's own experience, and the heritage of internalized prejudice it produces in the object of racial bias that persists into the twenty-first century equally, if subtly, in the Republic of Cuba, among the Cuban exile diaspora and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, despite affirmations to the contrary. The analysis surveys the use of the quadroon as stock character in American and Spanish American literature to evaluate the contribution Tapia y Rivera made to the subject of racial interaction.

Latin American culture has given birth to numerous dramatic works, though it has often been difficult to locate information about these plays and playwrights. This volume traces the history of Latin American theater, including the Nuyorican and Chicano theaters of the United States, and surveys its history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Sections cover individual Latin American countries. Each section features alphabetically arranged entries for playwrights, independent theaters, and cultural movements. The volume begins with an overview of the development of theater in Latin America. Each of the country sections begins with an introductory survey and concludes with copious bibliographical information. The entries for playwrights provide factual information about the dramatist's life and works and place the author within the larger context of international literature. Each entry closes with a list of works by and about the playwright. A selected, general bibliography appears at the end of the volume.

Stages of Conflict brings together an array of dramatic texts, tracing the intersection of theater and social and political life in the Americas over the past five centuries. Historical pieces from the sixteenth century to the present highlight the encounter between indigenous tradition and colonialism, while contributions from modern playwrights such as Virgilio Pinero, Jose Triana, and Denise Stolkos take on the tumultuous political and social upheavals of the past century. The editors have added critical commentary on the origins of each play, affording scholars and students of theater, performance studies, and Latin American studies the opportunity to view the history of a continent through its rich and diverse theatrical traditions.--from publisher's statement.
