The Sonja Haynes Stone Center Writer’s Discussion Series presents Terza A. Silva Lima-Neves, Professor of Political Science at Johnson C Smith University. She will be discussing her book Cabo Verdean Women Writing Remembrance, Resistance,and Revolution: Kriolas Poderozas. The book documents the work and stories told by Cabo Verdean women to refocus the narratives about Cabo Verde on Cabo Verdean women and their experiences. The contributors examine their own experiences, the history of Cabo Verde, and Cabo Verdean diaspora to highlight the commonalities that exist among all women of African descent, such as sexual and domestic violence and media objectification, as well as the different meanings these commonalities can hold in local contexts. Through exploring the literary and musical contributions of Cabo Verdean women, the Cabo Verdean state and its transnational relations, food and cooking traditions, migration and diaspora, and the oral histories of Cabo Verde, the contributors analyze themes of community, race, sexuality, migration, gender, and tradition.
