The consistent focus on AfroLatinas agency throughout all the chapters is both empowering and attentive to the challenging realities of asserting that agency, while also showcasing the vast possibilities of what agency can entail. The authors argue for the analytical strength of the concept of intersectionality while also considering the dominant pressures on AfroLatinidad and the empowering moves that an intersectional approach enables in evading, overturning, and resisting systems of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the exploration of various cultural expressions of Blackness, including photography, colonial inquisition records, dance, music, fiction, non-fiction, poetic memoir, and religious expression, as well as across different regions of the Americas, the chapter contributors to this book examine the relationship between social and historical processes, such as sovereignty and colonialism, and narrative and cultural production. Rosita Scerbo, Concetta Bondi, and the contributors recognize that racial and gender equity cannot exist without intersectionality, and the inclusion of activist voices broadens its reach and connects theory to practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edited volume serves as a valuable contribution to the field, highlighting the experiences and perspectives of AfroLatinas and LatiNegras and advocating for a more inclusive and intersectional understanding of their lives and contributions. It is a must-read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of Blackness and its impact on society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 576g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666910339\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102205866234,"sku":"9781666910339","price":98.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1670594099028_book.jpg?v=1670692782","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/afrolatinas-and-latinegras-culture-identity-and-struggle-from-an-intersectional-perspective-9781666910339","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
