Book on slavery in the Caribbean at literary event in Cuba

Havana, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) "Queloides, en la Conciencia Social del Caribe" (Keloids, in the Social Conscience of the Caribbean), by Graciela Chailloux, is the title of the book that will be launched at the traditional Sabado del Libro (Saturday Book) literary event on Calle de Madera at Havana's historic district.

Published by Nuevo Milenio publisher, the text gives a look at issues such as “the origins of structural violence against black people, the stereotypes that stigmatized them, and the deceptive ideological system that underpinned the post-enslavement of Africans and their descendants.”

A release from the Cuban Book Institute (ICL) says it is not just another work on slavery, nor does it simply describe and count the black men taken from their homeland to be subjugated and exploited in other lands.

It is “one of the most comprehensive and compelling analyses of the long process of enslavement, exclusion, humiliation, and degradation, based on the color of the skin, carried out in the Caribbean.”
