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.

357 p, The first and only successful slave revolution in the Americas began in 1791 when thousands of brutally exploited slaves rose up against their masters on Saint-Domingue, the most profitable colony in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Within a few years, the slave insurgents forced the French administrators of the colony to emancipate them, a decision ratified by revolutionary Paris in 1794. This victory was a stunning challenge to the order of master/slave relations throughout the Americas, including the southern United States, reinforcing the most fervent hopes of slaves and the worst fears of masters. But, peace eluded Saint-Domingue as British and Spanish forces attacked the colony.
