A social psychologist from Santiago de Cuba, NORMA GUILLARD is one of the first Cuban women of her generation to call herself a feminist. She primarily works on the issues of gender, race, sexual orientation, and issues of diversity and identity in a Cuban and Caribbean context. As a Cuban of African descent, Guillard has contributed much to the lively debates on race and racism in Cuba.
