Afro-America: The invisible history of Latin America
América Futura explores, through seven stories in three languages, the Afro-descendant communities of the continent to tell the story of about 25% of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean: 150 million people who identify as Afro-descendant and who have shaped the countries of the region, but whose histories have traditionally been erased or reduced to stereotypes
The Invisible History of Latin America promotes a new narrative for telling the stories of Afro-descendant territories and peoples. Their histories are essential for building the region’s future. To learn more about the project, click here

The Invisible History of Latin America is a special project by América Futura, a section of EL PAÍS America, in partnership with CAF — the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean — exploring Afro-descendant communities across the continent. And we also want to hear from you. We know that many families have hidden stories — will you share yours with us? americaesafro@gmail.com
