AfroLatinas as subject of scholarship is woefully underrepresented,
and this edited volume, AfroLatinas and LatiNegras: Culture,
Identity, and Struggle from an Intersectional Perspective, offers
an important and timely intervention. The consistent attention to
AfroLatinas' agency across all the chapters is empowering and
attentive to the difficult circumstances of asserting that agency,
and the tremendous breadth of what agency can look like. The
authors argue the analytical power of the concept of
Intersectionality while considering the hegemonic pressures on
AfroLatinidad and the essentializing moves that an intersectional
approach enables evading, overthrowing, and resisting systems of
power. Through the study of multiple cultural expressions of
Blackness, such as photography, colonial inquisition records,
dance, music, fiction, non-fiction, poetic memoir, and religious
expression, and throughout different region of the Americas, the
chapter contributors of this book consider the relationship that
social and historical processes, such as sovereignty and
colonialism, have on narrative and cultural production. Rosita
Scerbo, Concetta Bondi, and the contributors acknowledge that
racial and gender equity cannot exist without Intersectionality,
and the inclusion of activist voices broadens its reach and links
theory to praxis.
