SUMMARY:Affect and Space Making in Afro-Latina Poetics
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how Afro-Latina writers challenge colonial ideas of space through storytelling. Focusing on Daughters of the Stone (2009) by Afro-Puerto Rican author Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa\, the talk examines how Black Puerto Rican women use literature to preserve emotional and spatial knowledge rooted in resistance\, community\, and spirituality. It highlights how Afro-Latina poetics reshape Latinx and Black geographies by centering Blackness and rejecting dominant narratives like mestizaje.
