Una fascinante conferencia por la distinguida crítica María Hernández – Ojeda, en la que explora el estrecho vínculo entre las Islas Canarias y América mediante la obra literaria de Juana Fernández Ferraz, Nivaria Tejera, Mercedes Pinto y Josefina Plá. En su estudio de este cruce transatlántico, Hernández – Ojeda rescata el aporte de estas escritoras canarias a la literatura de Cuba, Costa Rica, México y Paraguay y las ubica en su merecido lugar dentro del patrimonio cultural de estos países.
Dr. María Hernández – Ojeda, is Associate Professor at the Department of Romance Languages at Hunter College and has written extensively on (pen)insular and transatlantic literature, exploring the cultural and literary relationship between the Canary Islands and Latin America.
