Abstract

Celso Emilio Ferreiro’s poem “Irmaus” summarizes how the Galician literary (and to some extent political) establishment has understood its relationship to the colonial Other. In its position as a non-hegemonic nation within Spain and Europe, discourses about our Others in Galician fiction have tended to emphasize the fantasy of a common struggle or “similar wounds.” A political reading of contemporary Galician fiction might however suggest that the Galician national identity has been partly built on gendered and racial interpretations of self and Other. I will draw on Orientalism, indigenous and black studies to explore how the internal colonial “wound” (i.e., the fact that Spain has power over Galicia) has been used as an alibi not to critically discuss the representation of the colonial Other in our collective discourse. I will also delve into the current resistance to these forms of discourse formation in order to establish strategic alliances across non-hegemonic nations.

    The Manifesto tries to create awareness about the lack of spaces in the Galician literary establishment for writers using the Portuguese standard. While their claims might be relevant, the fact that they equate their situation to that of people who were systematically murdered and deprived of any rights is astounding, to say the least.

    As a general note I could mention that “priority countries” in the Galician Development Aid Strategy are those with whom Galicia’s civil society is supposed to have had a history of long-term cooperation (see all details here: https://cooperacion.xunta.gal/gl/presentacion). While countries such as Kurdistan, the Sahara, and India have been excluded, Mozambique and others are in because of business interests. The inclusion of companies as cooperation agents in the mentioned strategy was and still is rejected by the NGO sector (see, e.g., the position of the Galician NGO Federation here https://galiciasolidaria.org/wp-content/uploads/docs/Consenso-Empresa-CGONGD.pdf), though this reasoned opposition has not yielded any change in the government’s policies.

    The poem, included in Cacheiro’s 1992 anthology América na poesía galega, is part of Delgado Gurriarán’s “Noiturno da noiva jaracha,” a section in his collection Galicia infinda (1963). The whole section can be found here http://www.adelal.com/nOproblemO/adelal/florencio/mexicanos.html. In 2021, the Real Academia da Lingua Galega [Royal Academy of the Galician Language] decided to dedicate their Día das Letras Galegas [Day of Galician Literature] to this author, quoting the fact that he was in exile in Mexico as one of the reasons to choose him, regardless of the way he has depicted the local population of the country (https://academia.gal/-/as-letras-galegas-2022-homenaxear-c3-a1n-a-florencio-delgado-gurriar-c3-a1n).
