España no es solo blanca
by AfropoderossaUN LIBRO NECESARIO Y COMBATIVO QUE ASPIRA A CAMBIAR LA PERCEPCIÓN QUE TENEMOS DE LA HISTORIA DE TODO UN PAÍS. ESPAÑA TAMBIÉN ES NEGRA. Como sor Chikaba, la primera mujer negra en escribir en una lengua europea. Como Juan Latino, la primera persona negra que cursó estudios universitarios en Europa. Como Rosalía Gómez y Cándida Jiménez, las últimas mujeres esclavizadas en territorio español.Y como Afropoderossa Activista antirracista que nos ofrece una visión alternativa de España a través de varias figuras negras de su historia y de su propia experiencia como nieta de personas colonizadas.España no es solo blanca arroja luz sobre un presente y un pasado invisibilizados y sobre las vidas de muchas personas como Afropoderossa, que construyeron un país y una cultura, pero cuyas voces siempre han sido silenciadas. Porque ha llegado el momento de dar voz a otras historias y de escuchar cómo nos las cuentan de maneras distintas. Críticas:«Con este libro, Afropoderossa responde a sus inquietudes de infancia, cuando le hicieron creer que las personas negras nunca habían hecho nada digno de destacar. En un ejercicio de justicia y amor, desentierra un montón de referentes afro a los que la historiografía decidió sepultar de modo que quienes vengan detrás sepan que la gente negra, africana y afrodescendiente no solo está aquí, sino que siempre estuvo».Lucía Mbomío, periodista
