Indios, negros y otros indeseables

Paco Gómez Nadal
Indios, negros y otros indeseables es un libro que debe leerse. Pone sal en la herida de América Latina y el Caribe y expone, sin tapujos, el racismo existente como práctica cotidiana. Paco Gómez Nadal, con el estilo claro y conciso del periodismo, lo describe y analiza y se atreve a decir cosas que no se dicen porque son parte vergonzante de la modernidad blanqueada. Un texto que duele y que presenta a aquellos que han sido desterrados, incómodos para las sociedades que dicen buscar progreso y que a cuenta de ello, esconden sus miserias. Una sociedad dominante que oculta y margina a indígenas, negros y amarillos, con prácticas heredadas desde los tiempos de la Colonia que aun hoy y pese a Constituciones “progresistas”, se mantienen. Un libro que interpela, confronta y conmueve.

This is a book that has to be read. It puts salt into the sores of Latin America and of the Caribics and lays open, in an unvarnished way, the existent racism as a daily practice. Using a clear and concise style of journalism, Paco Gómez Nadal describes it and analyzes it, and he dares to say things which are not said, because they form a shaming part of the whitewashed modernity. It is a text that hurts and that presents those who have been exiled, being inconvenient for societies that allege to seek progress and that on the expense of them are hiding their miseries. It is a dominant society, that hides and excludes indians, negroes and yellows, applying practices inherited from colonial times, which even today and in spite of an “advanced” Constitutions remain. It is a book that interpellates, confronts and is shocking.
