Since 2007, Afro-Puerto Rican women have been rewriting the foundational myths of the island and the diaspora to create a new vision of family as a national allegory that includes powerful Black protagonists. Novelists Mayra Santos-Febres and Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa tell the diasporas history, beginning with trans-Atlantic slavery. Santos-Febres allegories use sadomasochism and healing in her novels Fe en disfraz and La amante de Gardel. Short story writers Arroyo Pizarros Las Negras and Yvonne Denis-Rosarios Capá Prieto chronicle the struggle to create and preserve an empowering history of slavery and Black people on the island and in the diaspora. Llanos-Figueroas Daughters of the Stone envisions a sugar plantation in which Afrodescendants are free and respected. They remake the ‘great Puerto Rican family to give greater agency to Afro-Puerto Ricans and include the diaspora in a ‘fractal family. While liberating, these novels also depict the traumas wrought by both the maintenance and the dissolution of patriarchal, heteronormative, colonial, and racist structures.
