Rooted in nonfiction narrative modes, aswell as in storytelling and oral history traditions, it developed into a literary genre inLatin America and the Caribbean in the wake of national liberation movements suchas the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Testimonial writing achieved its greatest recognitionand attracted serious critical attention in U.S. academic circles in the 1970s and 1980s.To date, however, critics have yet to agree upon a clear and uncontested definitionof the genre. In addition to providing an overview of this debate, the purpose of thisessay is to contribute to this ongoing dialogue through a discussion of the collection oftestimonial expressions "ReMembering Cuba: Legacy of a Diaspora".
