Dr. Matthew Pettway joined Steven to discuss his new book *Cuban Literature in the Age of Black Insurrection: Manzano, Plácido, and Afro-Latino Religion*. By focusing on the Afro-Cuban poets Juan Francisco Manzano and Gabriel de la Concepción Valdés, known as Plácido, Pettway explores how they intertwined Spanish and African bodies of knowledge to create a narrative of emancipation in nineteenth-century Cuba. http://www.matthewpettway.com/ https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/C/Cuban-Literature-in-the-Age-of-Black-Insurrection Intro/Outro: https://youtu.be/2NqzePPhp7E
