BLACKS IN MEXICO BIBIOGRAPHY

A Selective Bibliography

The following bibliography is largely a revision of "Africa in Mexico: A Reading List," which was published in the special Coyolillo issue of Callaloo (27.1, Winter 2004). Like that reading list, this bibliography, a supplement to the readings in this special section of the journal, "will provide the reader with a basic working foundation for understanding the complex life, history, and culture of the people of African descent in the Republic of Mexico."
