Originally published in Spanish and edited by Cuban historian Daisy
Rubiera Castillo and the late playwright and theater critic Ines
Maria Martiatu Terry, this is the first work of its kind. It places
reflection on the experiences of black and mulata women at the
center of Cuban history. Including essays from a mix of well-known
and newly published Cuban authors, the book examines the lives of
Afrocubanas from the late 19th century to the present. The book is
the first one to collect and interrogate the voices of black Cuban
women in terms of the political, cultural, social, and ideological
contributions they have made to the history of their nation. One of
the unique qualities of Afrocubanas is that the text is the product
of a grassroots community working group in Havana. A number of
contemporary antiracist organizations have emerged to fight racial
inequality in light of Cuba's new economic challenges since the
fall of its chief trading partner the Soviet Union. But, while the
Afrocubanas Project (founded by Daisy Rubiera Castillo and Ines
Maria Martiatu Terry in the mid-2000s) is one of most prominent
groups in Havana, it is also one of the few groups that challenges
racism and sexism together. The members of the Afrocubanas Project
hail from a variety of professions, ages, and sexual orientations.
This group of black women shares a collective interest in
challenging negative stereotypes. This book merges their activism
and their intersectional scholarship to create and disseminate new
knowledge about black Cuban women. There is no other published work
in English devoted to analyzing the political and intellectual
dimensions of black Cuban women's thought across the island's
history. This text is essential reading for students of Afro-Latin
American studies, Caribbean history, or courses focussing on black
women in the Atlantic region.
