She left home at the age of fifteen when she received a scholarship to attend Northfield Mount Hermon, a New England boarding school in Massachusetts. This was the beginning of her education. As the daughter of immigrant parents, a college degree was never part of a life plan for her, simply wishful thinking. In spite of this, she attended Brown University and received a B.A. degree in Women’s Studies and American Civilization. After Brown, she attended the University of Connecticut where she earned a Master’s degree in History, which was followed by another tour at Brown University where she has earned a Ph.D, also in History. To date, the most revolutionary thing Marisela Ramos has done is get an education. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to the many people who supported me through this process.

That same day, the New York Times published an article about the discovery that focused on the teeth that had been unearthed by archeologists. At least four of the 180 bodies that were recovered showed evidence of having come from West Africa, including the most telling fact that “some of their teeth were filed and chipped to sharp edges in a decorative practice characteristic of Africa.”2 In January of 2006 the evidence of early African slavery in New Spain (now Mexico) was finally making “big news” in the modern world. But, for the historians, archeologists, anthropologists, or cultural investigators who have dug through dusty colonial documents in many of Mexico’s archives or have mined the world histories and local memories of Mexico’s “third root,” the news that there had been Africans in Mexico was hardly news. Scholars have always known that Mexico, along with all of the other Spanish colonies, had a comprehensive fully actualized system of 1 “African slaves were in New World in 1500s Graves found near ruins of a colonial church in Mexico,” in The Associated Press (Jan. 31, 2006), via http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11111366/ (accessed July 31, 2008). 2 Wilford, John Noble. “At Burial Site, Teeth Tell Tale of Slavery” in New York Times: Science Times (January 31, 2006): D1, D4. 2 African slavery. Two days after the initial AP news release, Mexico City’s El Universal and La Reforma carried the story. 3 What these and subsequent news articles reveal is the prevalent and dominant discourse of mestizaje—defined as the mixture of Spanish and Indian elements—and the obscurity of Mexico’s African history. In El Universal, the director of the project, Vera Tiesler from the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, reported that “the most important thing is to create a consciousness that we [Mexicans] not only originate from Indians and Europeans, but that there is also a third root." Tiesler also commented that the discovery was especially important for Blacks in the United States because it provides further evidence of their arrival to the New World. 4 Underlying the language of the “rediscovery” of Mexico’s ancient Black population is the dominant discourse of mestizaje—Mexico’s ideology of racial mixture and national identity. 5 A major feature of this ideology is that “the African, under no circumstance persevered as pure black, either biologically or culturally.”6 Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán, a mid-twentieth-century pioneer of Black Mexican studies, expressed the common attitude of Mexicans who believed that “the slaves who contributed to Mexico’s genetic make-up became so completely integrated into the process of mestizaje that it is now very difficult for the layman to distinguish the 3 Mexico City’s newspapers reported the news on February 2, 2006, “Hallan primeros restos de esclavos” in La Reforma. 4 Solis, Juan. “Campeche, puerta de entrada de africanos a América” in El Universal (February 2, 2006). 5 Essentially all racial terms pose a problem when dealing with people of African descent in Mexico since there is no one term that adequately encompasses this group, nor is it clear who belongs to this group. For the purposes of this work I will use the term “Black” to refer to people of African descent, and “Blackness” to refer to discourses relating to the latter. For a broader discussion on terminology see Laura A. Lewis. “Blacks, Black Indians, Afromexicans: The Dynamics of Race, Nation, and Identity in a Mexican Moreno Community (Guerrero)” in American Ethnologist, Vol. 27, No. 4 (2000). 6 Herrera Casasús, Ma. Luisa. Piezas de Indias; la esclavitud negra en México. Mexico: Instituto Veracruzano de Cultura, 1991, pp. 28. 3 Negroid features of the present population as a whole.”7 Our current understanding of racial mixture in Mexico does not negate the fact that Blacks were present in that country. If the African presence and influence is not obvious, it is not any less important historically.8 Blacks in Mexico have “disappeared” as a separate racial/ethnic group, to the point that nothing Black or African is considered Mexican. Yet, what is lacking is a clear explanation for the “disappearance” of the contributions that Blacks have made to our current understanding of Mexican identity. The story of those bones in Campeche can be brought to life with a better understanding of the development of Mexican national identity. In this work I focus on nineteenth-century discourses of race and their intersection with nation-building and the exclusion of Blackness from what would eventually be termed, “mestizaje.” Since my purpose is not so much to understand what Mexico’s national identity is (or was), as to understand how and why it came to exclude all things Black and African, I focus my research on the period between Independence in 1821 and the the Porfiriato (1876-1911) when nationalism and national identity became a state-sponsored project. Historians like Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo have claimed that the modern nationalist project in Mexico began with the period of the Porfiriato and culminated with the Mexican Revolution (1911-1917)—an essentially twentieth-century phenomenon.

  • Chicana/Os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By
    (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje By Agustín Palacios A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor José Rabasa Professor Nelson Maldonado-Torres Universtiy of California, Berkeley Spring 2012 Copyright by Agustín Palacios, 2012 All Rights Reserved. Abstract (Dis)Claiming Mestizofilia: Chicana/os Disarticulating Euromestizaje by Agustín Palacios Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation investigates the development and contradictions of the discourse of mestizaje in its key Mexican ideologues and its revision by Mexican American or Chicana/o intellectuals. Great attention is given to tracing Mexico’s dominant conceptions of racial mixing, from Spanish colonization to Mexico’s post-Revolutionary period. Although mestizaje continues to be a constant point of reference in U.S. Latino/a discourse, not enough attention has been given to how this ideology has been complicit with white supremacy and the exclusion of indigenous people. Mestizofilia, the dominant mestizaje ideology formulated by white and mestizo elites after Mexico’s independence, proposed that racial mixing could be used as a way to “whiten” and homogenize the Mexican population, two characteristics deemed necessary for the creation of a strong national identity conducive to national progress. Mexican intellectuals like Vicente Riva Palacio, Andrés Molina Enríquez, José Vasconcelos and Manuel Gamio proposed the remaking of the Mexican population through state sponsored European immigration, racial mixing for indigenous people, and the implementation of public education as a way to assimilate the population into European culture.

  • Intellectuals, Blackness, and Inter-Americanism in Mexico After 1910
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: IN BLACK AND BROWN: INTELLECTUALS, BLACKNESS, AND INTER-AMERICANISM IN MEXICO AFTER 1910 Theodore Cohen, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mary Kay Vaughan Department of History “In Black and Brown” examines how blackness and Africanness became constituent elements of Mexican culture after the Revolution of 1910. In refuting the common claim that black cultures and identities were erased or ignored in the post-revolutionary era, it argues that anthropologists, historians, (ethno)musicologists, and local intellectuals integrated black and, after 1940, African-descended peoples and cultures into a democratic concept of national identity. Although multiple historical actors contributed to this nationalist project, three intellectuals—composer and ethnomusicologist Gerónimo Baqueiro Foster (1898-1967), anthropologist Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán (1908-1996), and city of Veracruz poet Francisco Rivera (1908-1994)—most coherently identified Africanness in Mexican history and culture. As these state and local intellectuals read ethnographic texts about African cultural retentions throughout the Western Hemisphere, they situated these cultural practices in specific Mexican communities and regional spaces. By tracing the inter-American networks that shaped these identities, “In Black and Brown” asserts that the classification of blackness and Africanness as Mexican was in conversation with the refashioning of blackness, Africanness, and indigeneity across the Americas and was part of the

  • What Exactly Is a Cimarron…?
    Kofi Piesie Tv research team September 16, 2019 CIMARRONS: A Historical Survey of the Western Hemisphere’s First African Freedom Fighters What exactly is a Cimarron…? With modern day technology allowing us to share information faster, vaster, and more thorough than any other time in recorded history, we now have the ability to analyze the historical story of how Africans found themselves in the Western Hemisphere. With useful research tools, such as Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia, one can research a broad arrange of topics. In saying this, people who have access to these amazing researching tools can now better understand historical and cultural events of our America’s past. This article will delve deep into the history of African Americans, through the lens of the Cimarron people. By utilizing these at-you-fingertip researching tools, one can greater understand “who they are” by understanding “who they were!” For example if one was to search for Cimarron in your preferred search engine, the results will give various hits, including feral animals to cities, towns and rivers, etc. Additionally, the word is associated to numerous “Western” novels dedicated to cattle herdsmen migrating into the Wild, Wild West… One of the most common results from the internet searches includes the 2002 film that inspired a question. This question was posed by one of the children of the Kofi Piesie Research Team members. The question being asked is “Are you talking about my movie about the horses? This movie is entitled Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? What has been mentioned thus far has increased the desire to shed light on the amazing yet uncommonly known history of the first African freedom fighters in the Western Hemisphere.This history is the negro cimarron (defined as: runaway slaves, wild, cannot be tamed, one who knows he is oppressed, etc.).

  • “A Hidden Race”: the Complexities of Blackness in Mexico and Peru
    More Than “A Hidden Race”: The Complexities of Blackness in Mexico and Peru Christina A. Sue and Tanya Golash-Boza In the PBS film series, Black in Latin America, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. takes on the ambitious task of depicting blackness in six countries – the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru – to a primarily “American” audience. Given that Latin America and the Caribbean have the largest concentration of persons of African descent outside of Africa, the documentary is an important one. Gates’ coverage of “blackness”1 in these countries is comprehensive, spanning from the time of slavery to the present, with a primary focus on the cultural contributions, social experiences, and identities of individuals of African descent in these regions. However, Gates’ research traditionally has not focused on race in Latin America and, as scholars positioned more centrally in this field, we found some of his characterizations and treatment of the topic to be problematic. In this and the following commentary articles, scholars of race in the featured countries engage in a critical analysis of the documentary. We begin with an examination of Gates’ presentation of blackness in Mexico and Peru. In contrast to the other countries featured in the series, Mexico and Peru fall within mestizo America; their populations are mainly 1 Although racial and color categories are social constructions and should thus be placed in quotations, for the purposes of smoother reading, in the remainder of the article, we will not use quotations around such terms unless referencing an outside source. 1 comprised of mestizos2 and Indigenous peoples and they have relatively small populations of African descent.

  • Mexico - Afro-Mexicans
    Mexico - Afro-Mexicans minorityrights.org/minorities/afro-mexicans/ June 19, 2015 Profile There have been no official figures on the numbers of Mexicans of African descent since 1810, when a census found that black people made up 10 per cent of the total population. Most estimates now place their numbers at between 474,000 and 4.7 million. Although Veracruz is thought to have the largest black population in Mexico due its history as an important slave port, this is no longer the case. The majority of Mexico’s contemporary African descendant population lives in the Costa Chica region, which includes the Caribbean coastal regions of the southern states of Oaxaca and Guerrero. Historical context During the three centuries of Spanish conquest and rule, Spanish authorities were responsible for the forced migration of an estimated 200,000 or more enslaved Africans. Many died en route in the ships’ holds, while many others perished in the dire conditions of slave labour. By the early 1600s Mexico had a larger African slave population than any other country in the Americas. In Mexico, Africans outnumbered the Spanish population throughout the colonial period until 1810, the last year data was collected on the African descendant population. Although there was a general decline in the number of slaves Mexico imported starting in the eighteenth century, Spanish authorities continued to import slaves from Cuba throughout much of the colonial period. Mexico’s slave population was distributed and worked in a number of industries throughout the country and thus many people of African descent mixed with the Spanish and indigenous populations.

What subject and grade level do you teach? • What attracted you to this workshop? What are you hoping to get out of it? Afro-Latinidad describes members of the African diaspora who were brought to Latin America and have since immigrated all over the world, bringing their culture with them. There are many culturally distinct practices characteristic of Afro-Latinidad, each region having a diverse and rich manifestation of this cross- cultural identity. African cultural traditions have permeated Latin America for hundreds of years, some are obvious and others are subtle. Only recently have many countries even began to start the process of officially recognizing Latin Americans of African decent. Teaching about Afro-Latinidad is essential when teaching about Latin America. Gaspar Yanga Discussion: What do you know about Afro-Mexican culture? Have you heard of Gaspar Yanga? If so, what have you heard? Gaspar Yanga was a slave brought to Mexico from Africa. He is known as the “first liberator of the Americas” because he led a slave revolt, escaping the plantation and establishing a community of former slaves in the highlands of Veracruz. There he fought Spanish aggressions and maintained autonomy for many years eventually being legally awarded the land by the government.
