Summary/Abstract: María Nsué Angüe was a writer, journalist, and member of the Guineo-Equatorian Academy of the Spanish Language. She is known for her masterpiece Ekomo (1985), but few have paid attention to her tales and short stories, where she off ers a particular look at the historical, cultural, and political reality of Equatorial Guinea. We will try to demonstrate how the author is characterized by a hybrid and dichotomous writing that evidences an Afro-Hispanic and diasporic identity through mechanisms such as intertext, counter writing, and cultural syncretism. All this will allow us to know what place the Nsuenian brief narrative occupies within postcolonial criticism and transnational postmodernism.
