CLACSO Working Group on Afro-descendants and counter-hegemonic proposals
With the aim of promoting and discussing key themes in the academic and political debate surrounding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of People of African Descent, the need arose to develop and disseminate a text capable of providing a position on the subject. This initiative originated with the Latin American Network for the Decade for People of African Descent (ALDA), given its political influence and unique capacity to convene and progressively integrate academia and the Afro-descendant movement. Thus, Afro-descendant voices from Argentina, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, and the Dominican Republic have contributed a strategic text, written for and by Afro-descendant peoples. This book has the value of charting a course for continued collaboration. Beyond simply inviting you to read it, we call for strengthening capacities to deconstruct a post-pandemic anti-racist agenda in the context of the Second Decade for People of African Descent, under the watchful eye of the Declaration on the Rights of our peoples.
