IMAGINING MINA, a new feature-length documentary about the great Afro-Peruvian 1960s boxer Mauro Mina Baylón, is now available for educational viewing.
This well researched historical biography follows Mina’s career -from rural Peru to Lima, Montevideo, Buenos Aires and New York City- while analyzing social and racial issues in Peru and Latin America. It includes segments on African American boxers who traveled to Peru seeking better opportunities, and interviews with Peruvian scholars and journalists.
Imagining Mina is appropriate for use in the study of the African Diaspora in Latin America, Latin American history, media studies and sports history.
