Otras historias del Archivo de Indias is an anthology that compiles texts by ten renowned Ibero-American authors who have created works of fiction based on documents held in the Archivo General de Indias. This project by the Hay Festival and CAF aims to bring the archive’s vast collection of documents to the general public and to offer a critical and diverse perspective on the multitude of stories that record and challenge the colonial memory of the Americas. Two of the writers taking part in the initiative, the Mexican Yásnaya Elena A. Gil and the Colombian Cristina Bendek, discuss the anthology with Javier García del Moral (Spain).
