“…Regarding race, Black men show a higher prostate cancer mortality rate , even when adjusting for other cofactors such as education and income levels . Even though Peru has a high degree of racial mixing, the coastal region has a strong African influence , which may explain those high rates. In addition, the risk of prostate cancer also increases with age , and >70% of men have histological evidence of prostate cancer by the time they are aged 80 years .…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the mortality rates for prostate cancer according to geographical areas in Peru between 2005 and 2014. Materials and MethodsInformation was extracted from the Deceased Registry of the Peruvian Ministry of Health. We analysed age-standardised mortality rates (world population) per 100 000 men. Spatial autocorrelation was determined according to the Moran Index. In addition, we used Cluster Map to explore relations between regions. ResultsMortality rates increased from ) per 100 000 men, an increase of 15.2%. According to regions, during the period 2010-2014, the coast had the highest mortality rate (28.9 per 100 000), whilst the rainforest had the lowest (7.43 per 100 000). In addition, there was an increase in mortality in the coast and a decline in the rainforest over the period 2005-2014. The provinces with the highest mortality were Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Callao, Lima, Ica, and Arequipa. Moreover, these provinces (except Arequipa) showed increasing trends during the years under study. The provinces with the lowest observed prostate cancer mortality rates were Loreto, Ucayali, and Madre de Dios. This study showed positive spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I: 0.30, P = 0.01). ConclusionMortality rates from prostate cancer in Peru continue to increase. These rates are higher in the coastal region compared to those in the highlands or rainforest.

“…The consequences of mestizaje ideology that excludes the Afro-Hispanic has far reaching negative effects on the identity, socio-economic opportunities and overall social status of this group, such as denial of collective land rights (Hooker 2005), discrimination based on racial identity (England and Anderson 1999;Andrews 2004;Wade 2008;Latorre 2012;Rochin 2016), occupational segregation (Gradín 2011), etc. On the issue of collective rights, for example, where the concept of indigenousness is specific solely to those pre-colonial peoples occupying their traditional lands since time immemorial (Morel 2006, p. 127), this automatically excludes the Afro-descendant (Hooker 2005, p. 289).…”

After centuries of denial, suppression and marginalization, the contributions of Afro-Hispanics/Latinos to the arts, culture, and the Spanish spoken in the Americas is gradually gaining recognition as Afro-descendants pursue their quest for visibility and space in Spanish America. Hand in hand with this development is the young generation of Afro-Latinos who, are proud to identify with the black race. Ironically, the young African student has very little knowledge of the presence and actual situation of Afro-descendants in Spanish-speaking America. This is because many African universities still follow the old colonial system which excludes knowledge of the presence and cultures of the once enslaved Africans in the Spanish speaking world. Thus, while Afro-descendants are fighting for visibility and recognition in Spanish America, they remain almost invisible in the African continent. The aim of this paper is to propose a curriculum, Afro-Hispanic Peoples and Culture, as a general studies course in African universities. Such a curriculum would create in Africa the much-needed visibility and contributions of Afro-descendants in Spanish-speaking America, and also foster collaborative works between young African academics and their counterparts in the Americas.

“…As with the other classifications mentioned above ('indio', 'cholo'), this concept was part of a colonially erected racialised social pyramid and signified a social group between the strictly separated spheres of the 'white' colonial rulers (criollos) and the tributary indigenous population, secured for example by prohibitions of marriage and dressing rules (Wade 2008). After the founding of independent creole states and the fall of the tribute system, the terms 'mestizo' and 'mestizaje' operated -as a part of a matrix of structural coloniality (Walsh 2009) -at the centre of state ideologies aiming at the construction of homogenised national identities, under the surface of which racialised classifications lingered on, especially in the case of Afro-Ecuadorians and indigenous people, who were both excluded from citizenship, but also as tacit cultural-racist differentiations between 'white mestizos' and 'non-white mestizos' (Wade 2008;de la Cadena 2001;Roitman/Oviedo 2016). Indigenous struggles since the 19 th century have been directed against this exclusive creole state project in a long-term "revolution in stages" (Coronel 2011).…”
