Black Feminist Organizing and Caribbean Cyberfeminisms in Puerto Rico

Abstract

Abstract This article centers Black feminist organizing in Puerto Rico, highlighting social media as a tool for racial and gender justice. Collaboration between Puerto Rican feminist organizations on social media platforms amplifies their on-the-ground work and demands. Mapping Caribbean Cyberfeminisms (2016) theorizes Caribbean cyberfeminisms as “knowledge-producing spaces of political thought and action” online by Caribbean feminists. I argue that through content creation and curation, reposting and sharing, commenting and captioning, broadcasting live, Black feminist collectives, organizations and projects in Puerto Rico use digital and virtual technologies to extend their Black feminist organizing and collaboration, building a Caribbean cyberfeminist network in the process.
