Reviews
Hemispheric Blackness adds twelve significant and elucidating chapters to the dialogue about the African diaspora in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Americas. Collectively, the chapters cut deeply into new dimensions and perspectives on the concept of Amefricanity, the historical and present-day interconnectedness of afro-descendants in North, South, and Central America and the Caribbean expanses. From the introduction to the final chapter, readers will be engrossed thoroughly, through interdisciplinary research approaches, in the vibrant advocacy for and affirmation of a unified Blackness in mind, body, and soul in colonial and postcolonial times. In many palpable ways, this anthology is a veritable tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.--James J. Davis, professor of Spanish and associate dean for the Humanities, Howard University
