Margaret Kimberley · Black Argentinians Demand Inclusion in National Story

Argentina created a mythology of national whiteness that pretended the country’s Black population had long ago gone extinct, and ignored the presence of indigenous people. But young African-descended Argentinians are fighting “for their visibility” in the nation narrative and history, said Dr Erika Edwards, professor of Colonial Latin American History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and author of the book, “Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Public. The Black movement, said Edwards, is “saying that, not only have we not just arrived” in the country, “we have always been here.”
