Escritora, editora, lectora. La condición triangular de las letras afrohispanas.

Abstract

The publishing market of African literature in Spanish is inevitably linked to recent history of Equatorial Guinea, a Spanish colony until 1968. During Spanish occupation, publishing market had to adjust to requirements of colonial project. After independence was achieved, publishing houses were not able to flourish due to limitations of what Liniger-Goumaz calls the Nguemist regime, which served as a bridge between Francisco Macias's dictatorship (1968-1979) and current regime of Teodoro Obiang. Nowadays, edition of Afro-Hispanic literature is carried out mainly in publishing houses based in Spain, some of them under supervision of Equatorial-Guinean editors. These editorial houses are outside scope and dynamics of peninsular publishing. This is case of a small publishing house known as Editorial Mey (Barcelona), founded by Remei Sipi Mayo, that specializes in African literature in Spanish and pays particular attention to literature written by women.
