Abstract
El presente artículo rescata la obra de Luis Felipe Dessús, poeta, ensayista y periodista afropuertorriqueño del temprano siglo XX, invisibilizado y discriminado como tantos otros escritores afrodescendientes en el campo literario de la isla. La polémica voz de Dessús, inscribe en registro afroantillano fuertes cuestionamientos al reordenamiento neocolonial de Puerto Rico, en el cual persistían los antiguos privilegios, mucho después de la abolición de la esclavitud en el tardío siglo XIX. Su conciencia racial y social enfrentó arraigados prejuicios étnicos y fuertes naturalizaciones sociales del statu quo puertorriqueño y su vocación diaspórica lo solidarizó con la lucha internacional de los afrodescendientes, incluidos los Afroamericanos de los Estados Unidos.
