This work is an Afrocentric analysis that subscribes to the notion that there is one human race of multiple ethnicities. It acknowledges Mexico’s African, Amerindian (herein after called First Nations), Asian, and European ethnic heritages. Contrary to the African-disappearance-by- miscegenation-hypothesis-turned-ideology, it introduces the theory of the widespread Africanization of Mexico from the sixteenth century onward.
Reviews
“ This revealing analysis takes us down the paths of Mexican life. . . . we have in our hands an enticing work, a healthy reading to heal the Mexican dis-memory." –Prof. Álvaro Ochoa-Serrano, El Colegio de Michoacán-CET
