Carmen Montañez's novel Pelo bueno, pelo malo acknowledges the struggle that some Caribbean individuals face in accepting their blackness. The novel integrates the union of ancestors with the living, thus reflecting the Bantu concept known as Muntu. This Puerto Rican novel presents a deep social problem of internalized self-hatred and uses an African spiritual concept to heal the protagonist in her struggle to accept the complexity of her identity.
