Jennifer Maritza McCauley writes: “I’m the daughter of a Black American father and Puerto Rican mother, and I wondered if there were any writers out there like me, who were both Black and Latina. After finding Mayra Santos-Febres on a bookshelf in San Juan and researching more about Afro-Latine literature, I felt like I had found a literary home. Our voices should be heard, and Afro-Latinas deserve a spot in the literary canon. The following list includes amazing Afro-Latina writers whose work has given me strength, validity, and power. These women are truth-tellers, they say the unsayable, they capture what it’s like to inhabit multiple identities.”
