Black History Month “Black in Latin America” Film Series
Black History Month “Black in Latin America” Film Series
Info
In celebration of Black History Month the Center will be screening & discussing the PBS four part series, “Black in Latin America” with Professor Henry Louis Gates, JR.
Gates travels to places in Latin America where Africa has touched the continent with lasting cultural results to explore what happens when African and Hispanic worlds meet.
Gates sets out on a quest to discover how Latin Americans of African descent live now, and how their countries acknowledge or deny their African past; how the fact of race and African ancestry play themselves out in the multicultural worlds of the Caribbean and Latin America. Starting with the slave experience and extending to the present, Gates unveils the history of the African presence in six Latin American countries—Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, and Peru—through art, music, cuisine, dance, politics, and religion, but also the very palpable presence of anti-black racism that has sometimes sought to keep the black cultural presence from view.
