Alfonso Múnera is a historian, researcher, lecturer, and former ambassador. Born in Cartagena in 1953, Múnera earned a law degree from the University of Cartagena in 1981 and an MA and PhD in Latin American studies and US history from the University of Connecticut in 1995. In 1981, he began teaching at the University of Cartagena, where he served as vice rector of research (2007-2010) and founded the International Institute for Caribbean Studies in 2005. Múnera has been a visiting professor in Spain and the United States at institutions such as Pablo de Olavide University (1999), the University of Wisconsin (2003-2004), and the University of Seville (2006). Múnera is one of Latin America's most recognized and respected historians and in 2010, was named as one of 12 renowned Afro-Colombians. His critique of the construction of the Colombian nation and the processes of independence, and his criticism of official history make him an outstanding researcher.
