Dr. Laura Lewis: Afro-Mexican History, Culture, and the Fight for Recognition

In this episode of Wise the Dome TV, I’m joined by Professor Laura Lewis, a renowned anthropologist from the University of Southampton, to explore the history, culture, and contemporary realities of Afro-Mexicans. We dive into the legacy of African descent in Mexico, from the stories of maroons and enslaved persons to the vibrant cultural traditions that have survived for generations.

We also discuss the groundbreaking recognition of Afro-Mexicans in the 2020 census, the impact it has had on their communities, and the ongoing challenges of visibility, resource allocation, and colorism in Mexican society. Additionally, Professor Lewis shares insights on regional variations in Afro-Mexican identities, the preservation of African cultural elements, and the experiences of Afro-Mexicans who migrate to the U.S.

For a deeper dive into this topic, check out Professor Lewis’s book, [Chocolate and Corn Flour: History, Race, and Place in the Making of "Black" Mexico](https://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Corn..., which explores the rich and complex history of Afro-Mexico in even greater detail.

This conversation sheds light on the resilience and contributions of Afro-Mexicans, challenging misconceptions and celebrating their rich cultural heritage.
