Metrópolis y puritanismo en Afrocolombia

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

After the 1991 Constitutional reform, anthropologists and sociologists affiliated with constructivism strongly emerged in Afro Colombia. Applying puritanical double moral standards, they punish colleagues, for allegedly essentializating the history and culture of "black populations". However at the same time, they exalt modernity as a desirable, irreversible and deeply rooted phenomenon. Part of their narratives lack empirical support and stereotype struggles by those ethnic people in favor of implementing Law 70 of 1993 which gave legitimacy to their ancestral territorial domains, which the 1886 Constitution failed to acknowledge. They further blame anthropologists interested tracing the bridge between Africa and the Americas for introducing "neoracist culturalism" and thus contributing to perpertuate social and economic exclusion of Afro Colombians. Explanations by these scholars are highly conspicuous, considering that they tend to deemphasize the importants of those mechanisms for historical reparation introduced by that constitutional reform.
