No give up, maan!, by Hazel Robinson, From the Periphery of the Lettered Community

Abstract:

Don't give up, maan! No te rindas! (2002), by Hazel Robinson Abrahams (1935), can be considered as a (re) foundational fiction. From a decolonial position, which makes visible an untold territory and history, this novel puts on the table the impossibility of a single and homogeneous Colombian nation, while breaking the national literary canon, especially since the treatment of Creole, and ends up rewriting this ultraperipheral region, breaking myths about the Raizal identity by putting the accent on the African traces on which it was founded.
