In the Motocycle Diaries, Che Guevara makes this observation: "The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending
his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and
saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to
advance himself, even independently of his own individual
aspirations." All the more reason for everyone to know the history of Africans in Latin America and to critically examine Eurocentric analyses of history.
