Topic Title: Malcriadas, Chusmas, & Sinvergüenzas: Latin American Afro-Feminisms This course aims to look at racialized feminist practices of resistance across contemporary Latin American and Caribbean culture. Beginning with Victoria Santa Cruz’s “Me gritaron negra,” students will navigate how Black and Afro-descendant women throughout Latin America and the Caribbean deploy the negative terms used against them as an act of self-actualized resistance in the 20th and 21st centuries. Through literature, music, film, and visual and performance art, students will explore the many incarnations of the malcriada, chusma, and/or sinvergüenza as dissenting subjects across a century of Afro-feminist resistance and cultural production.
