Kevin Sedeño Guillén, « Independencias no simultáneas, memorias coloniales encontradas: la crítica literaria “[…] de patria dudosa […]” de Rafael María Merchán (1844-1905) », Revista de Estudios Sociales, ID : 10670/1.jxeyxo
This article contributes to the history of Cuban and Colombian literary criticism at the end of the 19th century. It analyzes Rafael María Merchán’s Estudios críticos (1886), written and published during the author’s exile in Colombia, and suggests that this kind of transnational Cuban-Colombian-Spanish American corpus is positioned within, and is the result of, the negotiations between coloniality and post-coloniality in the late 19th century. Its findings show that the important critical legacy of Merchan – trapped between the tangles of Cuba’s colonial situation and a post-colonial, post-independent Colombia – constitutes an unclaimed inheritance in the history of Spanish American (and especially Cuban and Colombian) literature.
