Stories of Latin American Women of African Heritage

""This seminal work features artists, activists and writers from South and Central America, and the Caribbean. The essays explore women’s journeys of resistance and endurance against societal silence. The volume serves as a valuable introduction for researchers and students seeking the authentic stories of Afro-Latin American creatives in the diaspora and invites further exploration and analysis of these often hidden narratives."" - Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa ""This groundbreaking collection assembles thought-provoking essays on women of African descent from key regions in Latin America. Some of these “daughters of the muntu” are internationally renowned, while others equally deserve recognition. Collectively, their voices illuminate a rich and enduring tradition of the Black female experience, offering an indispensable counter-narrative to prevailing cultural norms."" - William Luis, Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Chair in the Humanities, Vanderbilt University
