| Description | The essay investigates the deperipherialization of Cuban-American aesthetics by analyzing Achy Obejas' novel Memoria Mambo. The analysis demonstrates the importance of the 1959 Cuban Revolution that symbolized a rupture leading to the creation of new aesthetic and literary practices. Cuban-American literature is situated in the informing context of both US Latinx literature and Cuban insular literature in the transnational republic of letters. Based on the interpretation of this novel, we argue that both its thematics as well as poetics account for deperipherialization of the Cuban-American novel within the US literary space. |
