Juan sin nombre rescata su voz y la entrelaza con la historia de María y el Negro, una joven pareja de antropóloga y arqueólogo, quienes en un México distópico —gobernado por un régimen que ha borrado toda huella del mestizaje de su relato nacional— se embarcan en una peligrosa investigación que los llevará a descubrir la verdad sobre las raíces de la negritud en el país, enfrentándose a un Estado que no perdona a nadie.
Con una pluma que combina magistralmente el rigor histórico con la fuerza de la ficción, Diego Gómez Pikering construye un relato que no solo atrapa e intriga, sino que pone en jaque los cimientos de la memoria colectiva de nuestro país y deja una pregunta resonando en cada página: ¿qué historias hemos olvidado y por qué?
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 Hernán Cortés 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 María 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 Gómez 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?
