Black Power and the Olympic Games

By Jordi Brasó Rius

The book takes the reader back to the youth revolutions. Movements for equality were appearing in numerous cities around the world. The focus, in this case, is on Mexico. The movements for equality of race, culture, sex, education and democracy brought the city to a time of chaos, injuries and deaths. The 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico were one more example of all these demands, with the symbol of Black Power lasting for eternity. The book combines images with text. Each image corresponds to a text that allows the reader to enter a moment and a convulsive time. All this should be the key to value the importance of historical memory and, at the same time, to reflect on the permanent will of the dominant power to maintain its economic and social position.
