註釋
. Trans. Edith Moss Jackson The Worthy of My Race: Social Sketches, is a bilingual edition of Jorje Miguel Fords biographies, published in 1899. The United Nations, declaring that 2012 initiates the Decade of the Afrodescendant, encourages the recovery of such texts. This translation broadens readership of the biographies to English speakers, while offering the Spanish text for others desiring the original. Fords difficult style required that the translator render the text with flexibility. Ford selected fourteen Afro-Argentine men as motivational icons for contemporary Afro-Argentine youths who, like the massive waves of European immigrants, were unaware of the Afrodescendants crucial contributions to the nations construction and development. These biographies, with original photographs, document the achievements of Afro-Argentines that challenged the prevailing racialized ideologies of the period.
