Where do we turn for models of transcendence among women of African ancestry in the region? In answer to the historical dearth of such exemplars, \u003ci\u003eMayaya Rising\u003c\/i\u003e explores and celebrates the work of writers who intentionally center powerful female cultural archetypes. In this inventive analysis, Duke proposes three case studies and a corresponding womanist methodology through which to study and rediscover these figures. The musical Cuban-Dominican sisters and former slaves Teodora and Micaela Gin駸 inspired Aida Cartagena Portalatin's epic poem \u003ci\u003eYania tierra\u003c\/i\u003e; the Nicaraguan matriarch of the May Pole, \"Miss Lizzie,\" figures prominently in four anthologies from the country's Bluefields region; and the iconic \u003ci\u003epalenqueras\u003c\/i\u003e of Cartagena, Colombia are magnified in the work of poets Mar? Teresa Ram?ez Neiva and Mirian D?z P駻ez. In elevating these figures and foregrounding these works, Duke restores and repairs the scholarly record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Duke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684484383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684484386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bucknell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.06w x 0.79d","brand":"Dawn Duke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074748772607,"sku":"9781684484386","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7eae8d87-3d0e-4d4c-a7dd-137d7ec60038.jpg?v=1685455550","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mayaya-rising-dawn-duke-9781684484386","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
