César Romero is a lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton University. He holds a Ph.D. in Hispanic Languages and Literatures from the University of Pittsburgh. His research reflects broader interests in Blackness and Indigeneity, as well as trans-racial and trans-national concepts constructed and de-constructed in light of political, cultural, and economic contexts. His doctoral dissertation, titled “Subverting Racialized Masculinities: Negritud and Indigenismo in Late Twentieth Century Peru,” explores the intersections of race, gender, and class as represented in negritud and indigenismo, two cultural movements that sought to give voice to Black and Indigenous Peruvians in a postcolonial society that discriminates and excludes these groups. His forthcoming article in the Afro-Hispanic Review (2023) studies the negotiations of sexual desires and their effects on Black subjects as portrayed in the poetry of Nicomedes Santa Cruz (1925-1992). Another article published in the Revista Iberoamericana (2021) reveals intertextual connections and dialogues regarding class and race between the works of Jesús Cos Causse, César Vallejo, and Nicolás Guillén.
