Heirs of Atlantic paths: afro dialogues in spanish and the building of the modern world

Abstract

Literature is a means to illustrate the historical destiny of the society it intends to characterize, whether on a more restricted level, like the social group, or on a more global one. On this level we can locate the Spanish speaking Atlantic world built due to the colonization, with 1492 as a symbolic date. Undoubtedly, the current world order reflects the heritage of the building of the modern colonial system.
