Journal Article
Afro-Descendant Family Sagas in Ponciá Vicencio and Daughters of the Stone
2019
Overview
According to English literature scholar Lori Ween, in this genre \"the family is representative of their communities, sacrificing individuality for the broader goal of cultural representation\" (111). According to literary scholar Melissa Schindler, \"the idea of home, which can refer variously to a physical place one inhabits (with or without kin) to a figurative national or transnational community, walks the line between public and private, masculine and feminine, self and other, center and periphery\" (74). Though the novels examined in this article take place in Latin America, these Afro-descendent family sagas focus primarily on families of African heritage. [...]while the above-mentioned Latin American family sagas bring up questions of politics and the state, in the Afro-descendent family sagas questions of the state implicitly relate to the history of slavery. According to Ana Araujo, immediately after the end of slavery, countless former slaves did not leave the places where they resided, and \"several former slaves continued associating with their former masters, who attempted to keep economic and social ties with them or create new '(co)dependent relationships'\" (2).
