Unbecoming Blackness
2014 Runner-Up, MLA Prize in United States Latina and Latino and Chicana and Chicano Literary and Cultural Studies In Unbecoming Blackness, Antonio López uncovers an important, otherwise unrecognized century-long archive of literature and performance that reveals Cuban America as a space of overlapping Cuban and African diasporic experiences. López shows how Afro-Cuban writers and performers in the U.S. align Cuban black and mulatto identities, often subsumed in the mixed-race and postracial Cuban national imaginaries, with the material and symbolic blackness of African Americans and other Afro-Latinas/os. In the works of Alberto O’Farrill, Eusebia Cosme, Rómulo Lachatañeré, and others, Afro-Cubanness articulates the African diasporic experience in ways that deprive negro and mulatto configurations of an exclusive link with Cuban nationalism. Instead, what is invoked is an “unbecoming” relationship between Afro-Cubans in the U.S and their domestic black counterparts. The transformations in Cuban racial identity across the hemisphere, represented powerfully in the literary and performance cultures of Afro-Cubans in the U.S., provide the fullest account of a transnational Cuba, one in which the Cuban American emerges as Afro-Cuban-American, and the Latino as Afro-Latino.

There is: One God over all gods. The Most High God of them all. In Primordial Genesis, God takes on the most powerful god of ancient times...His grandmother/mother. Armed with the auras of all the other gods, who were unable to defeat her, as well as the four (North, South, East and West) winds, gifts from His uncle, and with the seven powerful winds He created (the atrocious wind, cyclone, hurricane, fourfold, sevenfold, whirlwind and tornado), He makes His way to battle her. With a charming smile, God defeats her and destroys the head of her army. This act guaranteed that He would become the Most High and most powerful God. After this act of war, He is celebrated and when the celebration is over He creates! After six days of creation and saying it is good, He rests on the seventh day and says it is very good! God, then brings Adam into His personal garden in Eden and has him work the garden. Adam becomes the world's very first gardener! As Adam is working, God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so He caused a deep sleep to come over him and He created Eve. With only one command, "You can eat of every tree EXCEPT the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" Adam and Eve were bound to this command if they were to stay in God's garden. Armed with Free Will they had multiple trees in the garden that they could choose to eat from including the "Tree of Life" ...then temptation slithered in with thoughts and ideas that they could have it all and still live their best lives... You think you know their story...but do you?
Organized Crime on Page and Screen
Thanks to writers like Mario Puzo, filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, and actors like Al Pacino and James Gandolfini, American and Sicilian Mafia characters are well-known figures in contemporary popular culture. Other powerful organized crime groups appearing in popular media include the Neapolitan Camorra and Mexican drug cartels. This book takes a close look at all these examples of organized crime by examining the different ways these organizations and their members have been portrayed in many of our most popular novels, movies, and TV series, and how the gangster figure has evolved from its earliest depictions in a trio of Hollywood films in the 1930s up to the present day.
