Carmen Joseph, a caterer and mother of eight children in Bluefields, Nicaragua, prepares potato salad as her granddaughter Britney Cash, 5, stands by. ‘Some folks don’t say they are what they are,’ she said. ‘You see, I am black, and I raised my family up knowing they were black.’ (Charles Trainor Jr./Miami Herald)

There has been a slow but dramatic shift in consciousness among blacks here(Nicaragua) and throughout Latin America. In something akin to the civil-rights movement in the United States — without the lynchings, bombings and mass arrests — blacks are pushing for more rights and reclaiming their cultural identity.
