Abstract: "Thinking of an art specific to black subjects required a differential approach, given that visual artists and writers share, in what has been called "diaspora", the imposition of a hegemonic, national culture, and the experience of segregation, which It is not generated solely from their language, religion or customs, but also by their skin color. Although there are relatively isolated groups, such as the palenques in Colombia and the quilombos in Brazil, the majority of the Afro-descendant population is in the midst of society. However, in their fight against racism, many leaders of black organizations, organic intellectuals and black artists have proposed to strengthen a differentiated cultural tradition, based on a different religion, cultural practices and own aesthetic productions, as a factor of construction and affirmation ethnic This is what this book is about: understanding and making known the forms sought by visual art and literature produced by important black artists and writers who have shaped a black aesthetic. Also the particularity of the feminine authorship is considered a differential factor of this aesthetics, and has a proper approach between the chapters of this work."
