Nevertheless, the breath of Hispanic  cultures covers Africa as well. This work undertakes  a transatlantic study of writings by Donato Ndongo  (Equatorial Guinea), Mayra Montero (Cuba and Puerto  Rico), and Luis Goytisolo (Spain).  It underscores  the kind of post-colonial criticism that subverts  Eurocentric discourses of power-as manifested in  religious, scientific, and economic contexts-not  merely by outright rejection but by engagement,  coercion, and appropriation.  We argue that the  encounter between the European and the African was  not a mere overpowering of one culture by another.   The process of engagement, negotiation, and  signification that invariably arose produced some  very subtle modes of resistance.  It is this very  subtle mode of resistance to discourses and  practices of power, which we define as \"composite  post-colonialism\", and its effectiveness as a tool  for subversion that we bring to the forefront in the  texts we study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843390187\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSubversions of Hegemony in Afrohispanic Writings of Equatorial Guinea, the Caribbean and Spain,  1980-2000\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843390187","offer_id":39497203974237,"sku":"9783843390187","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/af72a843-e544-4fb7-a26c-9b23e47cbb92.jpg?v=1757656505","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/from-the-ruins-of-empire-von-joanna-boampong","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
