N'GOM, M'bare. Urban Geographies: Representation and Identity in African Literature in Spanish. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.6, pp.73-86. ISSN 2145-8987.

This study explores the representations of urban geography and its problematic in African literature in Spanish. It intends to examinate the representation of urban realities as spaces of heterogeneous experiences, be they cultural, political, or renegociation of identity. Along those lines, this study will discuss how urban geography becomes a space that allows a multitude of negociations, as well as the articulation of a variety of discourses and reinterpretations of urban and urbanistic reality that oblige the African migrant subject, in this case, to engage in a process of reterritorialization from the transterritoriality of displacement, as a strategy for survival in an alien and dislocated space such as the City.

Palabras clave : african literature; city; Equato-Guinean; urban geography; identity.
