Please answer the following questions from the reading, and quote from the text.

1. In “América Latina,” by Nicomedes Santa Cruz (p. 93), we see a frustration of the poetic voice with Latin America. How does this frustration manifest itself in terms of race and politics? How does the theme of that poem differ from “Ritmos negros del Perú” (91)?

2. The presence of Afro-Uruguayan poetry (pp. 96-101) is notable because Uruguay has a relatively small population of inhabitants of African origin. According to the reading, what artistic and cultural contributions of Afro-Uruguayans persist in your society?

3. The Afro-Venezuelan population is much larger than the Afro-Uruguayan community. According to your reading of these pages on Afro-Venezuelan literature, indicate with what tone the poet relates to his native land and cite the verses that justify your answer.

4. In the poetry of Manuel Zapata Olivella (p. 238 – 247), we find some poems that use African names, that seek to reproduce African sounds (musicality / song), and that invoke the spiritualism of the African community. What are the dominant themes of the texts that emphasize these uses? Why are they important to the reader’s understanding of the works?

5. In the work of Quince Duncan (248 – 253), we see the theme of race, especially in female figures. Where do we see this theme in “A song in the morning?” Is the theme different in the song of the next two poems? Are they similar or different images? What does it mean to understand the work and the poetry?
