Mayaya rising : Black female icons in Latin American and Caribbean literature and culture / Dawn Duke. - 1 online resource (272 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: The fundamentals of glory -- A Cuban/Dominican case study. Teodora and Micaela Gin�es: myth or history? -- The invention of history through poetry: a Dominican initiative -- A Nicaraguan case study. Tracing the dance steps of a "British" subject: Miss Lizzie's palo de mayo -- From "Mayaya Las Im Key" to Creole women's writings -- A Colombian case study. Rituals of alegr�ia and ponchera: the enterprising palenqueras -- Palenquera writings: a twenty-first Century movement.
"Who are the Black heroines of Latin America and the Caribbean? Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, Mayaya Rising explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally center powerful female cultural archetypes. In this inventive analysis, Duke proposes three case studies and a corresponding womanist methodology through which to study and rediscover these figures. The musical Cuban-Dominican sisters and former slaves Teodora and Micaela Gin�es inspired Aida Cartagena Portalatin's epic poem Yania tierra; the Nicaraguan matriarch of the May Pole, "Miss Lizzie," figures prominently in four anthologies from the country's Bluefields region; and the iconic palenqueras of Cartagena, Colombia are magnified in the work of poets Mar�ia Teresa Ram�irez Neiva and Mirian D�iaz P�erez. In elevating these figures and foregrounding these works, Duke restores and repairs the scholarly record"--
