This book review examines the piece Afro-Latin American Studies: An Introduction, an edited volume edited by historians Alejandro de la Fuente and George Reid Andrews (2018). The book comprises fifteen chapters, which examine various aspects of Blackness in Latin America, ranging from the colonial times through more recent developments. As a survey of the region, it touches on issues of slavery, slave trade, rebellion, the afterlives of slavery, Black association and rebellion, organized social movements, public policy, cultural expression, the role of legal instruments, among other facets of Black experience. This review presents an overview of selected chapters and contextualizes the piece within contemporary discussions that examine the role of Afro-descending populations in Latin America.
