Description: Afro-Asian Connections in Latin America and the CaribbeanAuthor(s): Luisa Marcela Ossa, Debbie Lee-DiStefano, Dania Abreu-Torres, Linda Ainouche, Malathi Michelle Iyengar, Debbie Lee-DiStefano, Anne-Marie Lee-Loy, Kathleen Lopez, Mey-Yen Moriuchi, Luisa Marcela Ossa Format: Paperback Publisher: Lexington Books, United States Imprint: Lexington Books ISBN-13: 9781498587105, 978-1498587105 Synopsis Afro-Asian Connections in Latin America and the Caribbean explores the connections between people of Asian and African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although their journeys started from different points of origin, spanning two separate oceans, their point of contact in this hemisphere brought them together under a hegemonic system that would treat these seemingly disparate continental ancestries as one. Historically, an overwhelming majority of people of African and Asian descent were brought to the Americas as sources of labor to uphold the plantation, agrarian economies leading to complex relationships and interactions. The contributions to this collection examine various aspects of these connections. The authors bring to the forefront perspectives regarding history, literature, art, and religion and engage how they are manifested in these Afro-Asian relationships and interactions. They investigate what has received little academic engagement outside the acknowledgement that there are groups who are of African and Asian descent. In regard to their relationships with the dominant Europeanized center, references to both groups typically only view them as singular entities. What this interdisciplinary collection presents is a more cohesive approach that strives to place them at the center together and view their relationships in their historical contexts.
