Abstract

In this essay we consider the poetry production of the Hispanic Caribbean movement named “poesía negra” starting from the analysis of how the “new black and of mixted race woman”, that appears in different poems is represented. Our analysis wishes to reveal that, in spite of the effort made by those poets to introduce in their poetry black characters acting from their own context, the black female representation still remains tied to the patriarchal ideology.
