Finding Afro-Mexico
The erasure of Afro-Mexicans from Mexico has been key to the construction of a national identity that cast Mexico as a mestizo nation. Since the earliest days of colonization, both free and enslaved Africans inhabited New Spain and were employed in work tied to the global capitalist economy.
