Thank you so much to Vanderbilt U. CLACX and the Libraries for this beautiful set of writings by Afro Colombian intellectual Juan Zapata Olivella. Fun fact: Mr. Zapata Olivella’s brother, anthropologist Manuel, was here at FIU in 1987 for the famous Negritude conference organized by Carlos Moore. 🇨🇴
