Description:
"Regarded as "Cuba's most mysterious poet," Juan Francisco Manzano continues to intrigue scholars across disciplines. Using a postcolonial approach, this book breaks new ground by exploring the poet's connection with the Irish civil rights champion, Richard Robert Madden. Drawing on previously untapped sources, Gera C. Burton takes a look at the relationship between these two individuals to reveal facts considered critical in achieving an understanding of their association, with particular resonance for postcolonial studies. Scholars in the fields of Latin American, postcolonial, and Diasporic studies, along with specialists in Cuban and Irish studies will welcome this significant contribution to the body of work on "la gente sin historia" - the people without a history."--BOOK JACKET.
