1 vol., "En este primer volumen de Historia Afrouruguaya se abordan aspectos de las culturas africanas antes de la trata de esclavizados y sus costumbres. Se indica cuáles fueron los pueblos de África que estuvieron forzadamente aquí, su ubicación geográfica y los países que se beneficiaron con el tráfico humano. Ya en el Prólogo, realizado por Fidèle Diarra, Embajador de la República de Malí en Cuba, se comienzan a aportar aspectos en muchos puntos novedosos acerca de la presencia africana anterior a Colón en lo que sería luego llamado América. Oscar Montaño analiza censos y estadísticas para establecer la cantidad de población afro que habitaba Montevideo a comienzos del siglo XIX, las actividades que debieron realizar, la violencia que sufrieron y la forma en que lograron sobrevivir. El origen del Candombe y los primeros cantos de protesta de los africanos en estas tierras se abordan en el Capítulo final." --Back cover.

Notes:
287 p, Eexamines how a number of "foundational" Argentine authors—Echeverría, Mármol, Sarmiento, Ingenieros, Lugones, and others—either repressed the Afro-Argentine past or portrayed Afro-Argentines in profoundly racist ways. José Hernández (Martín Fierro) and Borges, in their allegedly sympathetic treatment of Afro-Argentines, were notable exceptions. The book has some appealing aspects. Extensive excerpts from the authors Solomianski examines—including, in Chapter 7, from nineteenth-century black newspapers and writers—give readers a vivid sense of literary representations of blackness in Argentina. And his analysis of Afro-Argentine characters in twentieth-century films, plays (including the patriotic skits presented in public elementary and high schools), and tangos is revealing and suggestive.
