“En mi sangre de mujer negra…”. Cuerpo, identidad y memoria en la poesía colombiana afrofemenina

The article analyzes the expression of Afro-feminine identity in the Anthology of Afro-Colombian Women Poets (2010). It traces the expressions of the racialized feminine condition through the poetic voices that present themselves as black women who are caregivers, mothers, and desiring bodies, and who, also, recognize themselves as heirs of an Afro-descendant memory linked to the African continent and enslaved ancestors. The study allows to conclude that the literary expression of Afro-female identity in the anthology is constructed by interpellant voices with their agency that pronounce themselves in a complex and nuanced way in the face of their reality and the memory they have inherited, with a tone that oscillates between the rejoicing of self-affirmation and the lament of precariousness and inequality. The voices consolidate a view of Afro-descendancy that includes the sphere of Black-Africanism but overflows it by thematizing mixedness and intersectional oppression.
