This volume proposes a journey through the literature of the Cuban Revolution from its beginnings to the most recent years. Specifically, the chapters included here establish a provocative dialogue between literature and Cuban political and cultural powers. The nexus between these elements is essential to understand the complexity of such a peculiar cultural field, where the history of contemporary literature must be unavoidably read in light of historical and political determinants. Born out of a joint effort, this book brings together academics from different countries and institutions that address from a plurality of perspectives one of the essential topics of contemporary Latin American literature: the fascinating relationship between writing and power.
