- W156667871 abstract "experiences of displacement, exile, and the recovery and articulation of memory have been extensively thematized in African literatures in transcontinental languages from the coming of independence to the present. specific focus of this study is the analysis of recovery and articulation of memory in African Hispanic poetic expressions of Equatoguinean writers in exile. Despite the fact that Equatorial Guinea is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa with a literature written in Spanish, only recently has this cultural production received the critical and theoretical attention it deserves. Given the cultural, historical, and politico-geographical experiences of the Spanish colonial subject, the Spanish language and Hispanic culture continue to play a central role in the formation of national identity discourses. Within this context, Hispanidad - or Spaniskness - stands out as a reality that informs and mediates this cultural production. Scholars and authors draw upon this aspect of the country's historical heritage to analyze and articulate discourses on national identity. Hispanic heritage is, in this sense, part of a variety of called upon in discussions pertaining to the articulation of guineanidad. Unlike many African countries where there is an effective autochthonous lingua franca that enables members of different ethnic groups and linguistic communities to communicate, in Equatorial Guinea, the Spanish language - and, to a lesser extent, Pidgin (the so-called invisible language) on the Island of Bioko - is the main vehicle of interethnic communication. Pancracio Esono asserts that El espanol hablado y escrito de todos los niveles constituye no solo un medio eficaz para las comunicaciones interetnicas y administrativas, sino tambien el ingente superestrato cultural que reafirma la identidad hispano-bantu e hispano-guineana de sus hablantes en los contextos subregional y mundial(41). Independence, along with nation-building and the establishment of institutional structures, favored the emergence of a political and cultural discourse, described in some countries as a National Project. African post-independent reality became the site for the emergence of national literatures and other cultural expressions. Igor Cusack argues that, Writing a national identity is an oversimplification insofar as different individuals and groups within a given may perceive what constitutes their national identity in different ways or varying emphases (207). In Equatorial Guinea, as in many African nations, the multiethnic composition of the population fostered the close association of the formation of national identity with territory bounded by fixed international borders and recognized and upheld by the international community (Cusack 207-8), but also by a common national project. Due to the complexity of the territorial demarcation inherited from the colonial period, these existing borders did not respect social, ethnic, political or geographical realities, and they made the articulation of the national project highly problematic; such borders nonetheless became a defining platform upon which most new African nations relied to build nationhood and nationality. Cusack writes that The 'official' national identity therefore emerges as a collage or assemblage constructed out of different materials (208). In the case of Equatorial Guinea, Senegalese scholar Mohamadou Kane notes, The African independent state is not [Fang], it is not ruled according to [Fang] traditions. It is a mosaic of peoples and cultures. It is composed of multiple identities that are not necessarily compatible (22) .' country is inhabited by several ethnic groups, including the Fang, Ndowe, Bubis, Fernandinos, Benga, Baseke, Balengue, Annobonese, and Bujeba. Given the pluralism of traditions and heritages, nation-building and the formation of national identity could not be based on ethnic homogeneity, or even on the perspective of one single ethnic group at the expense of marginalizing the others. …" @default.
