This incisive new study demonstrates how Columbian writer Manuel Zapata Olivella's novel Changó el gran putas (1983) and Brazilian-born Ana Maria Gonçalves' saga Um defeito de cor (2006) transcend Paul Gilroy's paradigm of the Black Atlantic to show revolutions, communities, and femininities that prophesy a just "New World."
