It was the idea of the Colombian writer Alvaro Mutis to bring together
different ends of the Caribbean Basin and Mexico with the French
Antilles. He had been commissioned by the writer Octavio Paz in the 60s,
to translate for a Mexican literary magazine some texts by the two
prominent " defenders of the African spirit", the writers Aimé Césaire
and Edouard Glissant. The publishers proposed to the Mexican
photographer Graciela Iturbide to illustrate these texts, and she
instantaneously found in those words themes that were dear to her.
