    This article presents the life and work of Nina S. de Friedemann. It highlights the relevance of her studies on Black and Indigenous cultures in Colombia, and demonstrates her understanding of terms such as identity, ethnicity, and traces of African presence. Taking as a point of departure the Nina S. de Friedemann Collection, unpublished texts from the journal América Negra, and discussions with family members and colleagues, this proposal entails creating a dialogue between her research processes and several transformations over that last two decades that affected the communities for which she worked. Finally, the memoirs of the event “Conversations: 20 years without Nina” are presented in order to highlight the intellectual focus and historical commitment of women and men in order to consolidate a horizon of study of the Afro-Latin American cultural tradition.
  • Abolitionist acts of New Granada, 1814-1851

    The paper focuses on the analysis of the narrative of various abolitionist acts and the impact they had on the problematization of slavery. The author argues that, from the  very beginning, the analysis of abolitionist acts manifests a contradiction with the independence discourse with regards to the idea of maintaining a part of the population as slaves. Yet, in practice, the acts aimed less at the brining into being of citizens and more in providing guarantees to slave-owners of compensation as well as preventing, by means of individualized surveillance and other instruments of control like concertaje, that the liberated participate in the distribution of the wealth and prestige and they are kept on the margins of society.
  • Absence and Presence of the State as a Reproduction Way of Urban Violence in the Aguablanca District (Cali, Colombia)

    Based on an ethnographic approach, this article describes how the notions of presence and absence of the state are manifested, simultaneously, in the Aguablanca District (Cali, Colombia). Within a context of urban violence, this is an obstacle when recognizing the effects of the state’s actions and omissions. Additionally, it can be noticed how the readings on violence intending to generate alternatives to mitigate this scourge enable the confrontation of imaginaries between communities from marginalized areas, elite areas, and the state. Thus, we see the emergence of signaling practices and discourses that assign violent identities to black communities and the Aguablanca District, which serve to present them as accountable for Cali being one of the most violent cities in the world, and it favors the execution of racial and territorial segregation practices, and “state” and “parastatal” actions that reproduce violence.

    Un recorrido somero por la historia del feminismo académico o intelectual (o mejor, por la práctica feminista de académicas e intelectuales) en Cuba sirve como pretexto para reflexionar sobre la práctica pública del feminismo desde la academia y las instituciones culturales y estimula el testimonio de un momento específico y de la experiencia individual acerca de cómo se han llevado a cabo algunas discusiones en torno al lugar de la mujer en la sociedad cubana actual.
  • Activist-Research in Black: An Interdisciplinary, Transnational Roundtable

    In this panel, a group of Black scholars gathers to discuss political, intellectual, and practical meanings of activist research in the Americas. Talking across the Atlantic, the authors generate responses to questions related to the following topics: knowledge and epistemological orientations, theory, positionality and power, and the alternatives in which socially-engaged research and change are offered. Calling on ruminations from research and personal experience, this article considers how Blackness augments the processes by which scholar activism has been created and understood by the authors. These comments seek to highlight not only the precarity in which such work is defined, but the opportunities that stand to be gained in understanding racial, sexual, and gendered elements of historical and contemporary social life through interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives.
  • Affectivity and reciprocity: approach to the work of Dominique Temple

    The topic of human coexistence is exposed by Temple from triadic affectivity, a state of freedom of consciousness which is experienced between one and another. Triadic affectivity is a horizon that opens to infinity and does it as a process: the process of the coming about of modes of triadic affectivity. These modes of triadic affectivity are become into values which reinforce the social tie. The triadic affectivity is explained dialectically in this work which aims to study in depth its origin.

    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.
  • Afro-descendant Trajectories: A Methodological Reflection

    This article offers a reflection about how we think of Afro–descendant people as objects or subjects of study. To do this, it reflects on the question: How does the study of Afrodescendant peoples change when the so–called 'unit of analysis' is not a slave, but an enslaved ancestor who is part of your contemporary cosmology? The way of arriving at this question, and the analysis presented henceforth attempts to highlight key aspects for advancing Afro–descendant scholarship: specifically the role of black feminist thought and practices on ancestral consciousness; and its subsequent impact on the interpretation and production of historical and socio–political sources.
  • Afro-Music Festivals in Multicultural Nation States: Parallel Analysis of Mexico and Colombia

    The article analyzes two Latin American afromusic festivals -one in Mexico and one in Colombia-, trying to find the strategies by which the multicultural project is expressed in these historical and culturally different scenarios. Using qualitative techniques, the ways through which the state institutions organizing the events and the people attending them build their experiences mediated by ethno-cultural difference and multicultural legislation that regulates it are characterized. The paper concludes that the Latin American multicultural project presents serious structural flaws in their actions and raises other ways of understanding the ethnic and racial otherness and its relationship to state institutions.
  • Afrodescendents people, representations and social mobility at Tuluá

    The article presents a synthesis of research on social mobility representations of migrants and children of migrants of African descent in the town of Tuluá-Valle del Cauca. Based on qualitative analysis tools applied to information gathered about a group of African descent residents in the city, the author analyzes some discursive manifestations that speak of representations of social mobility and its relationship to racial ethnic condition. Among the findings can highlight the dissonance between the positive perception and evidence of an upward micromobility migrant men and their families, and dissatisfaction and no accomplishment or partial accomplishment of the pretensions of mobility of the children/grandchildren of migrants and of women heads of household of African descent in the city of Tuluá.
  • Agroindustry and Extractivism in the Alto Cauca: Impact on the Livelihood Systems of Afro-descendent Farmers and Resistance (1950-2011)

    Agroindustry and extractivism have generated profound changes in the traditional economic practices in the Alto Cauca in Colombia, to the detriment of the socio–economic livelihood systems of the local Afro–descendent farmer population. Intense armed conflict and forced migration have accompanied the establishment of models of accumulation by dispossession. Utilizing a participatory research methodology, this article critically analyzes the dispute over access to and ownership of the land and environmental assets of the territory. Thus, it aims to foreground the perspective of the Afro–descendent communities and social organizations that have, since the colonial period and continuing to the present day, defended their peoples and territories through resistance.

    The immediate history of the Afrocolombians has been marked by a series of advances, confusions and regressions. All of a becoming that at being analyzed in a carefully way, it reveals the ambiguity present in the multiculturalist paradigm. Paradigm from where it has been pretended to organize the society; such form that it does justice for the ‘minorities’ historically badly treated by the daily discrimination and structural existing in the Colombian society. In this sense, this article aims to contrast what was stated in the 1991 Colombian Constitution, the Law 70 of 1993, relevant bibliographic material to the issue and the reality of Afro-Colombians, leading to the conclusion that the benefits conquered by the Afro behind these two decades of multiculturalism do not compare with the losses they are facing. It is argued that while affirmative policies, speech recognition has been tolerated and respected by some sectors of Colombian society, a large number of Colombians still have a negative attitude to the Afro-Colombians.
  • Ambiguous Waters: Embodying Anthropocene Awareness through Río de la Plata’s Ecogothic

    This article examines regional engagements with the gothic mode by contemporary writers on either side of the Río de la Plata. The short story “Bajo el Agua Negra” (Mariana Enríquez, 2016) and the novel Mugre Rosa (Fernanda Trías, 2020) both feature figures of monstrous children, toxic rivers, and mutated bodies not only to criticize historical and contemporary social injustices and dominant models of production, but also to imagine a multispecies ethics of care. Through liminal protagonists who simultaneously represent and challenge anthropocentric models, Enríquez and Trías demonstrate a nascent Anthropocene awareness. In both texts, the emergence of non-human storied matter as embodied agency is impossible to ignore, resonating with feminist ecocritical and materialist posthumanist thinkers. However, far from awakening a horror that overwhelms and immobilizes the reader, these ambiguous and open-ended speculative visions indicate that something more hopeful might emerge from the destruction of old models.
  • The analysis of the urban intervention in Cartolandia, seen through the photo-voice method from 1955-1972

    This paper addresses the irregular settlement of Cartolandia in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico in1955, until its eviction in 1972. Using the Photo-voice methodology it allows the interviewees to give voice to the selected photographs. This method helps to rescue studies of oral memory, detecting emotions, events, anecdotes and feedback from the experiences of the actors. It is concluded that the process of gentrification helped the city to redesign its urban fabric, but for the locals, the social stigma and the breakdown of social cohesion and community identity persist.

    This article, based on a review of the concept of governance, examines the public policy of childhood and adolescence at local level in Colombia. The empirical examination of governance is carried out based on the analytical categories of management and leadership, the interaction of actors, decision spaces and multilevel structure, the design and institutional structure, the technical capacity of the levels of government and accountability. These categories show the multiple aspects that affect the configuration of local governance of this policy and understand why the guarantee of the prevailing rights of children in the territories is achieved or limited, based on two case studies.

    This article attempts to situate the development of the anarchist movement in Argentina after 1930 and posit the founding of the Argentine Anarchist Communist Federation (FACA) in 1935 as the baseline for understanding the actions and the performance of some of its supporters at the National University of La Plata between 1944 and 1946. Furthermore, the article analyses the dual affiliation or identity of these supporters, first as university students and intellectuals who defended the 1918 Reform at the university during the 1940s and 1950s and later as political opponents of the first years of the Perón government.

    This article seeks to give visibility to some spatial strategies of resistance developed by black women in the predominantly black district of Aguablanca District (DA), in eastern Cali, Colombia, against the systematic violence they are daily subjected to. We contextualize their practices within the systematic violence of displacement, paramilitaries terror and spatial segregation in the city. It also seeks to discuss how black women resist stigma, political marginalization and death in a city divided along racial and gender lines. The questions that guide this article are: What is the role of racism and patriarchal domination in the production of "geographies of violence" in Cali? What are the strategies of resistance developed by black women in these topographies of violence? Ultimately, the article seeks to fulfill a gap in academic discourses that silence on black women’s social suffering and that regard them as disorganized, a-political and passive victims.
