  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the poetry, fiction, and essays of José Lezama Lima, the Grupo Orígenes he cofounded, and its literary journal of the same name, noting their reverberations far into the postrevolutionary era. The chapter encompasses the work and poetics of Lezama, other poets in the Orígenes orbit, and the group’s journals, including their high-modernist esthetic and internationalist reach; Lezama’s view of poetry’s “epistemic role in Western and non-Western cosmologies” and “innate resistance to causal and empiricist visions of time and progress” and the group’s incursions into myth and cosmogony; the canonical or cult status later achieved by many Orígenes poets; and the critical ostracism and resuscitations Lezama and Orígenes experienced in Cuba’s postrevolutionary periods. Lezama’s 1957 essay La expresión américana is central to an in-depth analysis of the Orígenes group’s “grand mosaic of hemispheric and transatlantic creation”; Lezama’s intricate conception of a New World Baroque; and the essay’s projection, as in other writing by Lezama, of a distinctively Caribbean Baroque, even as specific Antillean referents remain unnamed.

  • Summary

    This chapters reviews the academic debates over the African-American, Latino, and Afro-Latin@ dimensions of Arthur Alfonso Schomburg's legacy as a race intellectual, bibliophile, collector, and curator of documents, manuscripts, publications, prints, and other artifacts related to the African Diaspora in the Americas.  It analyzes and contrasts scholarship on Schomburg's legacies by African-American, Anglo-Caribbean, and Puerto Rican scholars from Elinor Des Verney Sinnette to Flor Piñeiro de Rivera, from James Winston to Lisa Sánchez González and Kevin Meehan, in the light of recent theories about afrolatinidad by Juan Flores, Miriam Jiménez-Román, and Antonio López, among others.  By focusing on evolving structures of mentorship throughout Schomburg's career--as John Edward Bruce's protegé and as collaborator with Alain Locke and Langston Hughes--, it shows how Schomburg sought to harmonize Pan-Africanist historiography (centered on continental Africa as motherland) with Latino Pan-Americanism (focused on Mediterranean-to-New World colonial and postcolonial interconnections) by striving for an archive that could redefine the Mediterrenean Renaissance as the Afro-Latin cultural outcome of Southern European and North-and-Central African socioeconomic and migratory relations.

  • L'évolution du phénomène de la criminalité au Brésil est en train de révéler, ces temps derniers, certaines modalités qui méritent un enregistrement spécial en raison des caractéristiques dont elles sont revêtues.

    Les observations faites, il y a peu de temps encore, dans le terrain de la délinquance, constataient que, dans les concentrations urbaines, surtout dans les grandes villes, prédominaient les crimes contre la propriété (vols simples et avec effraction, escroqueries, banqueroutes et autres fraudes), suivis des attentats à la personne et aux moeurs, et des crimes contre l'économie populaire. Dans les zones rurales et frontières s'accroissaient les crimes contre la personne et la contrebande, alors que les crimes contre la propriété sont en plus petit nombre.
