Descrição: This article examines how Francisco Zamora Loboch, an Equatorial Guinean writer based in Madrid, interprets Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quijote as an anti-racist text. While first proposing this reading in his essay Cómo ser negro y no morir en Aravaca (1994), he develops it more fully in his poem, ‘Estefanía’, from the collection Memoria de laberintos (1999). The study analyses how Zamora’s poem interweaves elements from the original novel with allusions to the popular western novel, as well as to the history and culture of Annobon, in order to challenge what Aníbal Quijano calls ‘coloniality’ (2000). In doing so, the poem deliberately merges the reality of life on Annobon, which has largely been characterized by poverty, exploitation, isolation, and neglect, with the patent fictionality of the Quijote and the western literary genre. This fusion of fiction and reality, which is modelled on the original Quijote, suggests that ‘coloniality’ is a fiction that can be radically reimagined and rewritten. Hence, the poem uses fiction as a key through which to dismantle and reimagine the interrelated edifices of the colonial, such as nationalism and the racialized binary between ‘Africa’ and ‘Europe’.
