Curriculum Vitae


Antonio Vera-León's research is concerned with the 19th-century Caribbean, especially Cuba, and the interrelation between visual culture and literature in 20th-century Latin America. Much of Vera-León's research on the 19th century is mainly concerned with the formation of a "national" narrative tradition within a colonial situation. On the 20th century, his work focuses on the narrative resources of painting and their connection to literary narrative.
