    Notes:
    Discusses the poem, Mujer negra (1975), by Caribbean writer Nancy Morejón. Focuses on how the poem departs from the traditional aesthetic and sexual discourses which lead to the mythification and marginalization of black women. Highlights the methods by which the black female persona subverts these established discourses and creates a counter-discourse to re-define herself and her New World experience. Details the ideological underpinnings involved in this process.;
