El arte de curar en Cartagena de Indias siglo XVII
El presente libro propone destacar dos personajes que ejercieron las artes médicas en Cartagena de Indias en la primera mitad del siglo XVII: Diego López, un mulato cirujano nacido en Cartagena y Paula de Eguiluz, una curandera de ancestro afro. A pesar de su calidad subalterna fueron reconocidos como sanadores expertos en la sociedad de su tiempo. Es preciso resaltar que el oficio de médicos, cirujanos, boticarios, barberos y curanderas era considerado arte manual y artesanal. Los médicos tenían mayor reconocimiento porque habían adquirido su saber en universidades españolas o europeas. Cartagena en el siglo XVII era el puerto de mayor importancia en el continente suramericano. Allí...
Becoming Heritage
Since the late twentieth century, multicultural reforms to benefit minorities have swept through Latin America, however, in Colombia ethno-racial inequality remains rife. Becoming Heritage evaluates how heritage policies affected the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenque after it was proclaimed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2005. Although the designation partially delivered on its promise of multicultural inclusion, it also created ethno-racial exclusion and conflict among groups within the Palenquero community. The new forms of power, knowledge, skills and values created to safeguard heritage exacerbated political, social, symbolic and economic inequalities among Palenqueros, and did little to ameliorate the harsh realities of living and dying in Palenque. Bringing together broader discussions on race, nation and inclusion in Colombia, Becoming Heritage reveals that inequality in Palenque is not only a result of Black Colombians' uneven access to resources; it is enforced through heritage politics, expertise and governance.
Challenging the Black Atlantic
The historical novels of Manuel Zapata Olivella and Ana Maria Gonçalves map black journeys from Africa to the Americas in a way that challenges the Black Atlantic paradigm that has become synonymous with cosmopolitan African diaspora studies. Unlike Paul Gilroy, who coined the term and based it on W.E.B. DuBois’s double consciousness, Zapata, in Changó el gran putas (1983), creates an empowering mythology that reframes black resistance in Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. In Um defeito de cor (2006), Gonçalves imagines the survival strategies of a legendary woman said to be the mother of black abolitionist poet Luís Gama and a conspirator in an African Muslim–led revolt in Brazil’s “Black Rome.” These novels show differing visions of revolution, black community, femininity, sexuality, and captivity. They skillfully reveal how events preceding the UNESCO Decade of Afro-Descent (2015–2024) alter our understanding of Afro-Latin America as it gains increased visibility.
