Includes bibliographical references (pages 218-225).For nearly 500 years, the existence and contributions of the African descendants in Mexico have been overlooked. Soon Africans arrived in Mexico in 1519 Yanga, an African leader, founded the first free African township in the Americas (January 6, 1609). Since then Africans have continued to contribute their artistic, culinary, musical, and cultural traditions to Mexican culture through the present day. No exhibition has showcased the history, artistic expressions, and practices of Afro-Mexicans in such a broad scope as this one, which includes a comprehensive range of artwork from 18th Century Colonial Caste Paintings to contemporary artistic expressions.

El Trabajo, La Naturaleza y la Evolución de la Humanidad : la visión larga de la historia / by Engels, Friedrich,1820-1895,author.(CARDINAL)139336; Marx, Karl,1818-1883,author.(CARDINAL)138286; Novack, George,1905-1992,author.(CARDINAL)871764; Waters, Mary-Alice,1942-author.;
¿De dónde provino la humanidad? ¿Cómo llegamos hasta donde estamos hoy? ¿Por qué es importante eso? Porque sin comprender que la sociedad humana --desde nuestros ancestros más remotos-- ha sido creada mediante el trabajo social, los trabajadores seguiremos siendo prisioneros de la época capitalista en la que vivimos. Sin conocer cómo nuestro trabajo transforma la naturaleza, cómo el trabajo es la fuerza motriz del rumbo que sigue la humanidad, no podremos ver más allá de la explotación de clases que deforma cada aspecto de nuestras relaciones sociales, ideas y valores. La dictadura del capital no siempre ha existido. Data de apenas unos cientos de años. Al igual que la esclavitud y la servidumbre que le precedieron, el dominio capitalista tuvo un inicio. . . y tendrá un final. Solo la conquista revolucionaria del poder estatal por la clase trabajadora, consciente de nuestra posición de clase y las condiciones de nuestra emancipación, podrá abrir la puerta a un futuro. Un futuro que no se base en el capitalismo con su despiadada explotación, degradación de la naturaleza, subyugación de la mujer, racismo y guerras. Un mundo basado en la solidaridad humana. Un mundo socialista. Eso es lo que una larga visión de la historia nos ayuda a comprender.
