This work of restorative scholarship centers and honors Afro-Latin American heroines present in the work of Cuban, Dominican, Columbian, and Nicaraguan women writers, and the reception of their work by literary critics. Three literary case studies explore the archetypal regional figures of Teodora and Micaela Ginés, Miss Lizzie, and the palenqueras.
