Within the context of economic, political and environmental turmoil of contemporary Puerto Rico, LloreÌns centers the work, activism, and lives of those often erased within Puerto Rican society: Black Puerto Rican women. Engaging with anthropology, history and autobiography, LloreÌns situates her own "kinfolk" in the island's southeast region, a sugar producing area home to a large Afro-descendant community. Combining autoethnographic narration with the insights of Black studies and decolonial anthropology, LloreÌns focuses on practices of mutual care, reciprocity, and solidarity that sustain Black women in the immediate aftermath of these disasters, and which provide the basis for these often excluded communities to survive and thrive, relying on Black ecological knowledge developed over hundreds of years. Narratively rich in its attention to everyday forms of struggle, Making Livable Worlds foregrounds Black women's agency and ongoing efforts to build "a good life" for themselves and their communities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z Puerto Rico $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Ecofeminism $z Puerto Rico $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211209010103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6D28EBC58BD11ECB35DEC655BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
