Abstract

Inspired by W. E. B. Du Bois’s notion of double consciousness, Yeison F. García López assumes multiple identities: Afro-Colombian and Afro-Spanish. This multiplicity allows García López to assert a politically active citizenship, articulated through his migrant journey, his Afro-descendant and Colombian heritage, and his connection with Madrid society. This conversation delves into how García López’s body of work as a poet, theorist, activist, and cultural agent contributes to an emerging Spanish, global, and transatlantic LatinX Latinity (LatinXness) from the Spanish capital. Overall, García López’s efforts shine a spotlight on Spain’s present-day plurality, highlighting the contributions of Africans and Afro-descendant people. He establishes connections among migrant communities of Latin American, Afro-descendant, and Asian origin as well as migrants from Eastern Europe descent, and Roma people and subverts Eurocentrism, colonialism, and white supremacy. García López’s publications and cultural initiatives serve as a platform to amplify the voices of Madrid’s migrant and racialized people, promoting culture as a form of resistance, healing, and empowerment.

传记-诗歌之旅：与 Yeison F. García López 的对话

受 W. E. B. Du Bois 的双重意识概念启发，Yeison F. García López 具有多重身份：非洲裔哥伦比亚人和非洲裔西班牙人。这种多重性使加西亚-洛佩斯能够通过他的移民之旅、他的非洲裔和哥伦比亚遗产以及他与马德里社会的联系，主张一种政治上积极的公民身份。本对话深入探讨了加西亚-洛佩斯作为诗人、理论家、活动家和文化传播者，其作品是如何促进西班牙、全球和跨大西洋的拉丁X拉丁性（LatinXness）从西班牙首都崛起的。总之，加西亚-洛佩斯的努力彰显了西班牙当今的多元性，突出了非洲人和非洲后裔的贡献。他在拉美裔、非洲裔和亚裔移民社区以及东欧裔移民和罗姆人之间建立联系，颠覆了欧洲中心主义、殖民主义和白人至上主义。加西亚-洛佩斯的出版物和文化活动作为一个平台，放大了马德里移民和种族化人群的声音，促进文化成为一种抵抗、治愈和赋权的形式。

期刊介绍： Our Editorial Collective seeks to publish research - and occasionally other materials such as interviews, documents, literary creations - focused on the structured inequalities of the contemporary world, and the myriad ways people negotiate these conditions. Our approach is adamantly plural, following the basic "intersectional" insight pioneered by third world feminists, whereby multiple axes of inequalities are irreducible to one another and mutually constitutive. Our interest in how people live, work and struggle is broad and inclusive: from the individual to the collective, from the militant and overtly political, to the poetic and quixotic.
