Virginia Brindis de Salas was the ⭐️FIRST⭐️ published black woman writer in Uruguay publishing ‘Pregón de Marimorena’ (The Call of Mary Morena) in 1946 and ‘Cien cárceles de amor’ (One Hundred Prisons of Love) in 1949. Brindis de Salas wrote as a black Uruguayan woman.
💯UNAPOLOGETICALLY💯
In Uruguay, where 92 percent of citizens trace their ancestry to Europe, Afro and Native Uruguayans have had to fight for visibility, while whiteness has been emphasized in mainstream national life. She used her platforms and her art to emphasize the struggles for freedom and the invisibility of Afro Latinos as in Uruguayan society!
