- Synopsis
- My fascinating journey among Afro-Mexicans began when I was a student in Mexico City. My personal background had shaped in me a consciousness about African people dispersed in all continents, but because of the language barrier, my conceptualization of their journey of migration and survival, linguistic and sociocultural continuities was limited to African Diaspora experiences of Anglo-North America and the Caribbean, perhaps one or two translations from the French Caribbean experience, but nothing of the Hispanic Diaspora. This pervasive effect of the linguistic spheres carved by the different European powers in their colonization of Africa, Asia, and the Americas must, I con¬cluded, be appreciated in full.
