Educación y afrodescendencia en Colombia. Trazos de una causa histórica
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: Contemporary Afro-Colombian educational demands come from a long epic of leaders, intellectuals, teachers and black, Afro-Colombian, Palenquera, and Raizal organizations, (for their name in Spanish organizaciones negras, afrocolombianas, palenqueras y raizales, NAPR) which since the mid-twentieth century carried out forms of political action to achieve, initially, access to school and later an education based on their own culture. In this article we make visible the events that occurred departing from the 70s of the twentieth century in the emergence and configuration of the Afro-Colombian ethnic education as a right and as a political project of black communities. Similarly, the emergence of the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies as a fact that articulates a long social and organizational agency to combat racism in the school system.
