“Perro Viejo” rescues those stories sometimes unknown to our Afro-descendant peoples, what they suffered, what the slave lived through, what they experienced, torture, death, but above all, resistance,” said Cardenas in an interview granted to Prensa Latina.

Referring to Perro Viejo, the manager of the State Publishing House Estela Machicado considered it a contribution to decolonization and the struggle against discrimination.

Machicado noticed that the book’s value made the publishing house choose it for its Biblioteca Popular collection, which aims to bring knowledge closer to the people.
