AB This essay examines the theme of afrodominicanidad in the poetry of Dominican women writing in Spanish in the United States. Although the topic of African heritage in Dominican culture has been explored in the literary production of the diaspora, itsmain focus has been texts written in English. This study seeks to broaden the scope of Dominican and U.S. Latino literary criticism by examining afrodominicanidad in diaspora literature written in Spanish. The methodology of textual analysis will allow us to examine the connections and ruptures that exist between the poetry of Afro-Dominican women in the diaspora and their literary predecessors in the Dominican Republic. More specifically, this essay will analyze selected poems by Marianela Medranoand Sussy Santana, two afrodominicanas in the United States, in relation to the oeuvre of Aída Cartagena Portalatín and Blas Jiménez. As this paper will demonstrate, the poetry of women in the diaspora assumes a critical and rebellious stance against theproblem of racism and the negation of the African heritage, and in so doing they challenge traditional definitions of Dominicanness as incompatible with blackness.
