This paper aims to analyze novels that make up an important tradition within the canon of Colombian literature and in which the presence of the children of the African diaspora in Colombia stands out: María (1867) by Jorge Isaacs, La marquesa de Yolombó (1926) by Tomás Carrasquilla, Las estrellas son negras (1949) by Arnoldo Palacios, Changó, el gran putas (1983) by Manuel Zapata Olivella, La ceiba de la memoria (2007) by Roberto Burgos Cantor and La hoguera lame mi piel con cariño de perro (2015) by Adelaida Fernández. With a comparative perspective, the relationships between these novels will be shown to appreciate the genesis of that representation, brought to its maximum poetic expression by Manuel Zapata Olivella in Changó, el gran putas, ambitious historical-mythical fresco of the African diaspora, built from an afro-centered vision, pioneer in Latin America and that anticipated post-colonial theories.
