first of its kind, detailing the contributions of Latinos of African descent in
the United States.

Join us in a presentation of the Afro-Latin@ Reader featuring Professors
Miriam Jiménez-Román and Juan Flores

The Afro-Latin@ Reader focuses attention on a large, vibrant, yet oddly
invisible community in the United States: people of African descent from
Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United
States (and throughout the Americas) belies the notion that Blacks and
Latin@s are two distinct categories or cultures. Sponsored by the Department
of Modern Languages, Department of Sociology and the Department of Black
Studies at The City College of New York.
