The conference will culminate in a book launch for Quesada's new work: The African Heritage of Latinx and Caribbean Literature (Cambridge University Press 2022).
Invited speakers: Tahia Abdel Nasser, Magalí Armillas-Tiseyra, Sophie Esch, Anne Garland Mahler, David Kazanjian, Lanie Millar, Ato Quayson, Richard T. Rodríguez, María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo, Fatoumata Seck, Joseph Slaughter and Ariana Vigil.
