The Invisible Blackness of Latin America

Author:

Abstract

This panel explores discussions of race in Latin America, a region known for its multi-ethnic population. We will analyze how Afro-Latin Americans specifically have contested the images created by state intellectuals, who had been influenced by scientific racism. We will focus on the views posed by Afro-Latin Americans to affirm their identity. The presenters will discuss sociopolitical insights as well as cultural expressions from different countries.
