El negro en Colombia: posición social y relación con su ambiente socioeconómico en las novelas Chambacú corral de negro y Socavón

Abstract

The following doctoral thesis explores the historical and literary context in the novels Chambacú, Black Slum, Manuel Zapata Olivella and Socavón, Helcias Martan Gongora. The document is presented as an analysis of the novels based on historical events in Colombian History. The close up to the novels must be understood starting in the literary Boom in Latin America until the postmodern literature. That will give the reader the appropriate tools to interpret the different folklorik representations such as poems, songs and legends found in the two novels that are studied in the text. It is relevant to denote that both novels point to the reconstruction of the diaspora in the History and daily life of Afro-colombian societies.
