Abstract: The paper aims at the presentation of the current situation of Afrobolivians, one of the Afro Latin American communities that are nearly unknown to the general public and the academia. The author tries to explain main reasons of Afrobolivians’ long lasting invisibility. Discussing the present day claims of the group she refers to the strategy of folklorization of its image (through the tradition of afrobo-livian dance called saya) and to the particular importance of the ―politics of place‖ in the context of Bolivian Yungas region.
