By focusing on six antislavery writers during a time when censorship curtailed Cuban aspirations to autonomy, Williams traces the emergence of a national consciousness and deepens our understanding of the social and cultural dynamics of Cuban society in the nineteenth century.

"The Representation of Slavery offers mature and thoughtful readings of important antislavery fiction. . . . Clearly written and well-documented, Williams's study constitutes an important contribution to Afro-Hispanic critical discourse."--Revista de Estudios Hispanicos
