The book explores the historical and cultural erasure of Afro-descendants in Mexico, highlighting their overlooked contributions to the nation's identity. It addresses the institutional denial of their existence and the societal efforts to minimize their presence. Despite facing discrimination and invisibility, Afro-Mexicans have embraced their identity, reclaiming terms like brown, black, and Afro-Mexican. This journey toward self-identification underscores the resilience of a community striving to assert its place within the broader Mexican narrative.
