This book surveys diasporic fiction written by Afro-Puerto Rican women whose historical storytelling reimagines the island's collective family around particular active women--survivors, creators, and activists. John T. Maddox IV argues that these stories--by such writers as Mayra Santos-Febres, Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, Arroyo Pizarro, and Yvonne Denis-Rosario--reveal imaginations committed to both the liberative and traumatic experiences of a new \"fractal family.\" Through close readings and interviews with the authors discussed, this book opens the door to a more fruitful conversation between the diaspora, homeland, and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John T.
