“…The experiences of Afro-Latinés are impacted by the ethnoracial demographics and sociohistorical institutional contexts in which they are located. As such, the sense of belonging among Afro-Latiné students may be greater at HBCUs than at HWIs due to HBCUs historical mission to address the exclusion of one of their ethnoracial identities (Guridy, 2010; W.

“…The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed the expansion of the urban population of African descent as rural migrants joined established urban communities that had existed since the colonial era. 44 Because these men and women faced exclusion from white elite clubs, including women's organisations, joining black associations provided opportunities for entertainment.

This article explores the intersection of race, class and womanhood during the early years of the Cuban Republic. It focuses on the writings of elite women who published in the black press between 1904 and 1916. While legal reforms and the expansion of the educational system facilitated new gender expectations, racial ideologies positioned upper‐class white women as the standard of ideal womanhood. I argue that elite women of African descent employed modernising gender norms in order to counter anti‐black racism and to affirm their identification with upper‐class whites. In particular, they published articles that promoted the dominant values regarding marriage, education and public comportment. They disparaged unmarried unions and the practice of African cultural traditions among the labouring poor. Elite black women's writings drew from the model of the enlightened caretaker also to engage broader debates regarding feminism and black civic unity. Yet their emphasis on ideals that promoted white superiority helped reinforce the anti‐black tenets of Cuban citizenship they hoped to undermine. By analysing elite black women's articles, poetry and letters, the article demonstrates the importance of understanding how women of African descent forged an intellectual trajectory, and thus contributes to the historiography of gendered racial ideologies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
