In "The Culture of Fiction", the reader is introduced to the overlooked fiction of Colombian novelist Manuel Zapata Olivella. Captain-Hidalgo concludes that in Zapata's emphasis on race he shows the common ground between his works and those of other artists in the Afro-Americas. His novel "Chago, el gran putas" receives special attention here not only because of its pan-African stance, but because Zapata feels that some common misconceptions about Africa must be addressed through a reading of this novel.

Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920–2004), hailed by critic Richard Jackson as the dean of Black Hispanic writers, was the author of more than a dozen novels as well as numerous essays and short stories, including A Saint Is Born in Chimá and Chambacú, Black Slum. One of six children in a Colombian literary family, Zapata Olivella initially pursued medical training at the National University of Bogotá but interrupted his studies to write and travel.
