Cet ouvrage, laur\u00e9at du <strong>Prix comm\u00e9moratif Letitia Woods Brown 2022<\/strong>, met en lumi\u00e8re la mani\u00e8re dont ces femmes ont affront\u00e9 et contest\u00e9 des syst\u00e8mes imbriqu\u00e9s d\u2019oppression raciale et de genre tout en revendiquant leurs droits en tant que citoyennes. Son travail se distingue par l\u2019utilisation de sources non conventionnelles, telles que des lettres personnelles et des portraits photographiques, qui servent de contre-archives puissantes face aux r\u00e9cits historiques dominants.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Le livre est structur\u00e9 en sept chapitres, chacun explorant diff\u00e9rentes facettes de l\u2019activisme des femmes afro-cubaines. Les premiers chapitres s\u2019int\u00e9ressent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e8re post-abolition, mettant en avant la mani\u00e8re dont les femmes noires ont pris part \u00e0 la vie publique par le biais de l\u2019\u00e9ducation, du militantisme politique et de la production culturelle. Brunson analyse des lettres \u00e9crites par des femmes afro-cubaines \u00e0 des dirigeants politiques masculins, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant comment elles ont mobilis\u00e9 le discours patriarcal pour d\u00e9fendre \u00e0 la fois la justice de genre et la justice raciale.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>L\u2019une des contributions majeures de cet ouvrage r\u00e9side dans son analyse de la mani\u00e8re dont les femmes afro-cubaines ont red\u00e9fini les notions de citoyennet\u00e9. Par leur activisme, elles n\u2019ont pas seulement remis en question les hi\u00e9rarchies raciales et de genre, mais elles ont aussi contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 red\u00e9finir la notion m\u00eame de ce que signifie \u00eatre cubain. L\u2019analyse de Brunson met en lumi\u00e8re la complexit\u00e9 de ces luttes, illustrant comment les femmes afro-cubaines ont n\u00e9goci\u00e9 leur identit\u00e9 au sein d\u2019une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9e par des in\u00e9galit\u00e9s raciales et de genre persistantes.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the book&#8217;s key contributions is its exploration of how Afro-Cuban women redefined notions of citizenship. Through their activism, they not only challenged racial and gender hierarchies but also helped to reshape the very concept of what it meant to be Cuban. Brunson&#8217;s analysis underscores the complexity of these struggles, illustrating how Afro Afro-Cuban women negotiated their identities within a society marked by persistent racial and gender inequalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><p><em>Black Women, Citizenship, and the Making of Modern Cuba<\/em> est une lecture incontournable pour les chercheurs en histoire cubaine, en f\u00e9minisme noir et en \u00e9tudes latino-am\u00e9ricaines.
