Black characters in Puerto Rican fiction function as the backdrop or, to use José Luis González¿s metaphor, the lower floor of a fourstoried country. Contemporary Puerto Rican women writers bring gender issues to the foreground. However, black women characters remain marginalized. The House on the Lagoon (Rosario Ferré) and El manuscrito de Miramar (Olga Nolla) serve as a departure for our exploration of the silenced or contrived representation of black women in contemporary Puerto Rican fiction, given the fact that women writing the novels within the novels belong to the upper, white, educated elite. |
