Radical Reference Library of Congress Subject Heading Blog-a-thon

Dear Library of Congress,

This subject heading is long overdue:

Afro-Hispanic Literature (cross reference to Spanish American Literature-Black Authors)

I also suggest Afro-Hispanic Studies and Afro-Hispanic Poetry.

Not only are there several works out there on Afro-Hispanic topics, such as:

Afro-Hispanic Review: Publication of the Afro-Hispanic Institute

Afro-Hispanic poetry, 1940-1980 : from slavery to Negritud in South American verse

John Lipski, A history of Afro-Hispanic language: Five centuries, five continents

There have also been conferences on the subject.

On behalf of reference librarians everywhere, I thank you in advance.
