Blacks & Blackness in Central America

"This important collection of essays puts Central America firmly on the African Diaspora map. "Between Race and Place" is the one-stop volume that gathers together the leading scholars of the topic. They offer small but clear windows into their many years of research and discovery, collectively convincing the reader that Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica were far from marginal to the historical trajectories of people of African descent in the Americas."--Matthew Restall, author of "The Black Middle: Africans, Mayas, and Spaniards in Colonial Yucatan"
