Valdés and Earl E. Fitz Contributors Index"Reviews"""This book asks not what Machadian Blackness is, but, more importantly, what does it do? How does the author’s racial identity open the text and his biography to new debates and discoveries? What are critics to do when an author does not perform his identity in the way he is expected to? Comparisons to Harriet Beecher Stowe, Toni Morrison, Milton Hatoum, and Jeferson Tenório show how an inter-American approach to Machado—one that focuses on how his marginalization influenced his aesthetics, point of view, and characterization—has relevance far beyond understanding this single author."" — John T.
