Mayaya Rising

Black Female Icons in Latin American and Caribbean Literature and Culture

Beschreibung

Who are the Black heroines of Latin America and the Caribbean? Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, Mayaya Rising explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally centre powerful female cultural archetypes.
