The Eruption of Insular Identities

A Comparative Study of Azorean and Cape Verdean Prose

By: Brianna Medeiros

The Eruption of Insular Identities explores themes common to the literatures of the Azores and Cape Verde, two isolated archipelagos in the former Portuguese empire but contemporaneously in the Portuguese-speaking world. In the 1930s, writers from both archipelagoes initiated projects to explore acorianidade and caboverdianidade, firmly placing narratives within their respective regional spaces, a tradition that would be continued by following generations. Despite vast differences in the realities in the two archipelagos in terms of race and politics, the insularity lent itself to two bodies of literature with striking similarities. The authors aim is to set out these similarities as a means to understanding the differences in rhetoric and treatment of this commonality. Earlier scholarly work has suggested the comparison, but this book is the first extensive study comparing the literatures of the two archipelagoes. Within the field of Lusophone studies, the study of Lusophone African literatures are gaining international literary appeal. Cape Verdean writer Germano Almeida won the Premio Camoes in 2018, one of the most prestigious awards for Portuguese-language authors. His work is explored extensively in the volume. The Eruption of Insular Identities provides a perspective on Cape Verdean literature that brings to the fore the nations social reality and literary production its individual insularity which distances it from most of the other Lusophone African nations. And it provides an in-depth comparison to the second region under study, the Azores.

French Kissing

By: Brianna Shrum

«Cucinare è la cosa che più amo al mondo.Mi abbandono ai profumi speziati e golosi che si levano dai tegami e insaporiscono l’aria, allo sfrigolio del burro che rosola in padella. E sono talmente presa che quasi non mi accorgo dell’arrivo di Reid. Entra rivolgendo un’occhiata imbarazzata ai giudici, quasi chiedesse scusa per il ritardo, e va a sedersi accanto a Will. Evito di guardarlo. Voglio rimanere concentrata. Ma a un certo punto i nostri sguardi si incrociano».Nel futuro di Carter Lane c’è un Desiderio Impossibile, come lei lo definisce, e nessun ‘piano B’: vuole essere ammessa al prestigioso Istituto di Arti Culinarie di Savannah e diventare una chef. L’unico modo per farcela è sbaragliare un gruppo di giovani fuoriclasse dei fornelli e vincere l’annuale borsa di studio messa in palio dalla scuola. Carter è pronta a tutto, ma l’unico ingrediente davvero indigesto che deve affrontare è lui: Reid Yamada.
