Black Mexico

I found an interesting article dealing with the ethnic identity of the black population of La Costa Chica, the southern Pacific coast of Mexico. The author, Bobby Vaughn, states that unlike most black diaspora communities, black descendants of this part of the world are "much more likely to consider themselves part of Mexico s mainstream gente de razón -- or civilized peoples in contradistinction to indigenous ethnic populations."
