I'm particularly interested in fiction but am involved in doing research as well into the social history of all Afro Latinos, but especially in PR. I am also interested in photographic records or historical photographs of Afro Latinos in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Great! I'm also interested in those topics, and your research topic seems like a large one. Perhaps you could recommend some books to the group? I primarily read social science articles/books on this topic so I'd love to dabble in some literature!
Hi BrandiI'm organizing my library now. Will pass on some titles as soon as I get organized. Great to find someone else with similar interests.
Hi, I'm new to this group, and I saw your little discussion. I like all types of genre.. but I like romance novels, drama, comedy.. I have read some Afro-Latinos books, but not a lot.. :D
I read fiction for pleasure. Right now I have more than enough research to do and love getting lost in a novel whenever I have a few hours to gift to myself.

Of what I have read? Okies.. I really liked SAB, by Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda.. This novel is about a slave who falls in love with his master's daughter.. Avellaneda is a cuban writer.. I also liked Nicolas Guillen's poetry.. He is also cuban.. Those are the only ones I can think off, when I remember I'll post more :D
