Pueblos Afro-Indígenas de las Américas: Identity, Law, Culture, and Political Struggles in the Twenty-First Century

Sat, April 29, 6:00 to 7:45pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This panel examines how afro-indigenous communities are defining the identitarian and legal terms through which they seek to affirm their cultural, economic, environmental, and political rights in the Americas. Together these scholars offer an overview of issues impacting afro-indigenous communities and their strategies to engage states that oftentimes attempt to ignore their existence and needs. The case studies include political and cultural organizing efforts in the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Colombia, and Bolivia. Through feminist, anti-racist, ethnographic, cultural, and legal analyses, we highlight the need to continue developing analytical models that recognize the specific experiences of afro-indigenous communities within hemispheric histories of racial and gender subjection.
