Ethnicity and Identity in Contemporary Afro-Venezuelan Literature: A Culturalist Approach

by Marvin A. Lewis

In this study Marvin A. Lewis examines, from a literary perspective, two central issues of Venezuelan culture - ethnicity and racial identify. By analyzing thematic and structural similarities among four important contemporary works of Venezuelan literature by authors of diverse backgrounds - two black and two nonblack writers - Lewis reveals ethnicity and racial identity to be crucial concerns of these works and their authors.
