Duke, Dawn. Literary Passion, Ideological Commitment: Toward a Legacy of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian Women Writers. Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press, 2008.
Abstract
This study takes a comparative look at Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian women’s poetic production in order to chart their development from written object to writing subject. By tracing the progression of the poetic voice and identifying common thematic approaches in the process of women’s empowerment, Duke emphasizes what she terms a “woman-centered aesthetic” (11).
