Abstract

This article briefly analyses the important role assigned by Eulalia Bernard Little, poet of the Costa-Rican Negritude, to the Black man. Even though she is sympathetic with women’s struggles in order to gain a more just position within society, she refuses to participate in the gender struggle, since she considers that the Afro-descendant man and woman must together build a better future.
