Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Summary: In this presentation I propose to study the novel Los 4 espejos, by the Costa Rican essayist and writer Quince Duncan, a well-known intellectual and activist of the Afro-descendant community. His work raises the need to renew the Spanish-American literary canon, by including symbolic and aesthetic elements of the African tradition and by proposing a rereading of identities. Part of his work aims at the recovery of oral tradition and ancestral spirituality, in order to put together a critical questioning of the trauma of racism and slavery from an Afro-descendant perspective.
