La conquista de M?xico no puede entenderse sin la figura enigm?tica de Juan Garrido, uno de los primeros africanos en pisar el continente americano y quien luch? junto a Hern?n Cort?s en episodios decisivos como la Noche Triste. A pesar de esto, su nombre apenas aparece en los libros de historia.
Juan sin nombre rescata su voz y la entrelaza con la historia de Mar?a y el Negro, una joven pareja de antrop?loga y arque?logo, quienes en un M?xico dist?pico –gobernado por un r?gimen que ha borrado toda huella del mestizaje de su relato nacional– se embarcan en una peligrosa investigaci?n que los llevar? a descubrir la verdad sobre las ra?ces de la negritud en el pa?s, enfrent?ndose a un Estado que no perdona a nadie. Con una pluma que combina magistralmente el rigor hist?rico con la fuerza de la ficci?n, Diego G?mez Pikering construye un relato que no solo atrapa e intriga, sino que pone en jaque los cimientos de la memoria colectiva de nuestro pa?s y deja una pregunta resonando en cada p?gina: qu? historias hemos olvidado y por qu?? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The conquest of Mexico cannot be understood without the enigmatic figure of Juan Garrido, one of the first Africans to set foot on the American continent and who fought alongside Hern?n Cort?s in decisive episodes such as La Noche Triste. Despite this, his name barely appears in history books. Juan with No Name rescues his voice and intertwines it with the story of Mar?a and El Negro, a young couple consisting of an anthropologist and an archaeologist, who in a dystopian Mexico–ruled by a regime that has erased all traces of miscegenation from its national narrative–embark on a dangerous investigation that will lead them to discover the truth about the roots of blackness in the country, confronting a state that forgives no one. With a pen that masterfully combines historical rigor with the power of fiction, Diego G?mez Pikering constructs a narrative that not only captivates and intrigues, but also challenges the foundations of our country’s collective memory and leaves a question echoing on every page: what stories have we forgotten and why?Author: Diego Gómez Pickering
