Abstract

The psycologist and writer Benito Massó, recently deceased, is the author of two recent books about Afro-Puerto Rican experience and history: Negro: este color que me queda bonito (2013), Massó's self-ethnobiography in which he narrates his experiences as a black man; and Rebelde: la historia de Juana Agripina (2016), a novel which recreates the story of the rebel Juana Agripina, a slave from Ponce, Puerto Rico. This essay analyzes the voice of the author of Negro: este color que me queda bonito exploring two concepts: "endorracism" and "social flesh". While the first refers to 'self-hatred' regarding one's own race, the second is a theoretical concept created by Chris Beasley y Carol Bacchi to explore the interrelations and codependency of every member of a community, taking into consideration differences of gender, age, race, and class, among others.
