Abstract: This study examines the work by six female artists (five writers and one performance artist) from the Caribbean and its diaspora in the U.S. The project analyzes the depiction of violence in their works and how this violence is linked to systems of oppression inscribed in the nation. These artists (Mayra Montero, Loida Maritza Pérez, Irene Vilar, Achy Obejas, Mayra Santos Febres and Ana Mendieta) perform “transnational feminist practices” (Grewal) by showing how these links work across national borders.
