Novelists Mayra Santos-Febres and Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa tell the diaspora's history, beginning with trans-Atlantic slavery. Santos-Febres's allegories use sadomasochism and healing in the novels Fe en disfraz and La amante de Gardel. Short story writers Arroyo Pizarro's las Negras and Yvonne Denis-Rosario's Capá prieto chronicle the struggle to create and preserve an empowering history of slavery and Black people on the island and in the diaspora. Llanos-Figueroa's Daughters of the Stone envisages a sugar plantation in which Afrodescendants are free and respected. They remake the "great Puerto Rican family" to give greater agency to Afro-Puerto Ricans and include the diaspora in a "fractal family". While liberating, these novels also depict the traumas wrought by both the maintenance and the dissolution of patriarchal, heteronormative, colonial and racist structures. -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Santos-Febres, Mayra, $d 1966- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Arroyo Pizarro, Yolanda $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Denis Rosario, Yvonne, $d 1967- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Llanos-Figueroa, Dahlma $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Puerto Rican literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Black people in literature. 650 0 $a Families in literature. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786839121 830 0 $a Iberian and Latin American studies. 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240302013435.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907010658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD853FBE010B11EEB5B5CDCD2BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
