In The Representation Of Slavery In Cuban Fiction, Lorna Williams Examines The Work Of Six Antislavery Writers From Nineteenth-century Cuba. Recognizing That These Slave Narratives Represent The Fledgling Articulations Of An Emerging Black Voice, As Well As Lay The Foundation For Twentieth-century Afro-hispanic Literary Expression, Williams Analyzes The Authenticity Of The Slave Protagonists' Testimony - Both In Its Content And In Its Mode Of Expression.

In Addition, She Provides The First Exhaustive Analysis Of Gertrudis Gomez De Avellaneda's Sab And The First Detailed Treatment Of The Interte
