Tom-Toms of Kinky Hair and All Things Black (Tuntun de pasa y griferia English Edition)

Paperback - 191 pages

The poetry in Palés' black theme makes use of the exotic which, by its complexity, does not strike us as merely picturesque; any intention to return to any Africanism where we stand is burdened by an oceanic jump where the cruelty of slavery prevails, where oblivion besieges, where longing for a vision is froth with racial prejudice.
