What Is It Really Like to Be Black in Mexico?

Описание: Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, Mexico stands as a nation celebrated for its vibrant culture, rich history, and diverse population.
Mexico's history is a mix of indigenous civilizations, Spanish conquest, and cultural influences from around the world. Its identity is steeped in a mix of Mesoamerican roots, European colonialism, subsequent waves of immigration and a race of black people that Mexico hopes to bury.

The history of Black people in Mexico is often overshadowed by the more prominent narratives of indigenous peoples and Spanish conquistadores. However, their presence predates even the Spanish arrival, with African slaves accompanying explorers and settlers to the New World. Over time, this Afro-Mexican community grew, forming a crucial part of Mexico's identity. Yet, as history unfolded, their contributions were often minimized and their voices silenced.
