Notes:
191 p., Comparing Cuban American and African American religiosity, this book argues that Afro-Cuban religiosity and culture are central to understanding the Cuban and Cuban American condition. It interprets this saturation of the Afro-Cuban as transcending race and affecting Cubans and Cuban Americans in spite of their pigmentation or self-identification.

135 p, DETALLE El tema de la negritud ha sido poco estudiado en México, a pesar de la existencia de varios estudios como los de Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán. 'Afroméxico. El pulso de la población negra en México: una historia recordada, olvidada y vuelta a recordar' muestra la importancia de éste al situarlo dentro de una perspectiva histórica, y además ofrece una discusión antropológica que define su carácter contemporáneo. Este libro está pensado como una herramienta tanto para estudiantes como para profesores e investigadores, ya que contiene una bibliografía con los principales títulos al respecto. El ensayo introductorio provee al lector un amplio panorama sobre la presencia afromexicana, familiarizándolo con las tendencias historiográficas y los hallazgos antropológicos modernos.

Notes:
246 p., With the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 and the emancipation of all slaves throughout the British Empire in 1833, Britain washed its hands of slavery. Not so, according to Marika Sherwood, who sets the record straight in this provocative new book. In fact, Sherwood demonstrates Britain continued to contribute to and profit from the slave trade well after 1807, even into the twentieth century. Chapter 4 is about Cuba and Brazil, pp. 83-111.
