Deconstructing Color, Race & Caste with Roberto Carlos Garcia

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Roberto Carlos Garcia, author of the poetry anthology, What Can I Tell You.  Roberto is the author of three previous poetry collections Elegies, black / Maybe: An Afro Lyric, and Melancolía. 

In our conversation, Roberto discusses unlearning the ways in which colonialism have infected the mind. How anti-Blackness begins at home in some Afro-Latin communities, and the reason he believes spoken word is poetry in its purest form.
