Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Afro-Hispanic linguistics. Challenges, misrepresentations, and assumptions -- An overview of recent research on the sociolinguistic role of Luso-Africans, ladino Africans, and criollos of African descent in the early colonial Spanish Americas -- Methodological choices and personal responsibility of researchers -- Afro-Puerto Rican Spanish declarative intonation -- San Andrean Spanish stylistic variation in academia -- Subject pronoun expression in Equatoguinean Spanish -- Issues of Spanish language maintenance among the Equatorial Guinean community in Houston -- Towards a social justice framework for marginalized linguistic communities -- Index
Summary: Since the 1960s, Afro-Hispanic linguistics has produced vital knowledge at the intersection of African diaspora studies and Spanish sociolinguistics – yet many misconceptions persist in research literature. To challenge those biased assumptions, the contributions gathered in this volume present current research on Afro-Hispanic varieties from both sides of the Atlantic (Equatorial Guinean Spanish, Palenquero, Afro-Puerto Rican Spanish from Loíza, San Andrean [Colombia] Raizal Spanish) and address the influence of Portuguese-based Creoles on Afro-Hispanic varieties during the early colonial era. Conceived in cooperation with students, activists, social workers, civil servants, and researchers who work with Afro-Hispanic languages and communities (as well as with other languages and communities who suffer linguistic, social, and racial marginalization), this volume adopts a social justice framework that seeks tangible, material, and quality-of-life improvements for the speech communities in which it investigates. It includes best practices for empirical research, recruitment of respondents and informants, fieldwork and archival work, and pedagogical and community-facing applications of research.
