Óscar Daniel Campo and Muriel Vanegas in conversation

The iconic novel by Roberto Burgos Cantor, La ceiba de la memoria, has recently been republished by Himpar Editores. Óscar Daniel Campo, the editor of this version, will talk to Muriel Vanegas about the book, which won the Casa de la Américas Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the Rómulo Gallegos Prize. This classic novel tells the story of the Benkos Biohó insurrection, which resulted in the foundation of the first haven for fugitive slaves. A story about resistance to slavery and war; a story that is a call to the cultivation of a more plural, collective memory.
