Diáspora(s). A literary group and journal, the principal members of Di[á]spora[(s)] are Rolando Sánchez Mejías, Carlos Alberto Aguilera, Rogelio Saunders, José Manuel Prieto, Ricardo Alberto Pérez, Pedro M[a]rqu[é][s] de Armas and Radamés Molina. Most of them are living now out of Cuba, in Europe and Mexico City, although they published their first works in Havana from the late eighties onwards.

Founded as a group in 1993, they define themselves as ‘una avanzadilla (sin) táctica de guerra’ (a little movement (without) tactics of war) (Diáspora(s) # 1, 1997). Among their goals are ‘to write a short story as if it were one, a poem as if it were one, an essay as if it were one; a novel as if it were one, etc[.]’ and to ‘terrorize Cuban Literature through the Concept’. As part of the writing process, they do not avoid ideology and politics from a critical perspective, and this lack of reticence puts them in a difficult situation with respect to the official institutions of the Cuban cultural system. Di[á]spora(s) journal is published clandestinely in Havana with the help of friends inside and outside of the country. On its pages appear works by Diáspora(s) members and by national and international authors whose ideas do not have much space in the official journals.
