| description | The problem of diasporic phenomena in America is a significant element in Changó, el gran putas . In
this novel, the African exodus is related to Muntu philosophy. This philosophy brings together African
knowledges composed of diverse elements that reemerge in America, where they are transformed in a
context of postcolonial cultural exchange. In Changó , Muntu philosophy allows us to analyze the pos-
sibility of creating an alliance between africans and mestizos committed to the freedom of America, at
the same time as it becomes a metaphor for American mestizaje ; an opportunity to see the History of this
continent from a literary point of view which engages different dimensions of the human being. This
study is a reflection about the way in which the different philosopical categories of Muntu (Kintu, Kun
- tu, Hantu and Muntu) are developed and ad[a/o]pted from a literary/philosophical perspective, inquiring
into their relevance in the work. |

La problemática del fenómeno diaspórico en América es un elemento notable en Changó, el gran putas. En esta novela el éxodo africano se encuentra estrechamente relacionado con la filosofía Muntu. Esta filosofía agrupa unos saberes africanos compuestos de diversos elementos que resurgen en América transformándose dentro de un contexto de intercambio cultural postcolonial. En Changó, el Muntu nos permite analizar no solo la posibilidad de tejer una alianza africana y mestiza en pos de libertad en América, sino que constituye además una metáfora del mestizaje americano, una oportunidad de ver la Historia de este continente desde un punto de vista literario involucrando asimismo diferentes dimensiones del ser humano. Proponemos una reflexión en torno a la manera como las diferentes categorías filosóficas del Muntu (Kintu, Kuntu, Hantu y Muntu) son abordadas y ad[a/o]ptadas desde una perspectiva filosófico literaria, cuestionando su relevancia dentro de la obra.
