Join us for a series of panel discussions with Afro-Argentine legal scholar activists to discuss the challenges African and Afro-descendants face in Argentina, the famed “European” or white nation of Latin America. After more than 120 years of erasure, a category for Afro-descendants appeared in the Argentine Census in 2010. In spite of this and other important steps of recognition for social inclusion, these individuals continue to face various forms of racialized violence and discrimination on a daily basis. Our panelists will provide insight into the legal fight against racism in the Argentine landscape.
These panel discussions are part of a several-day in-person event at New York University with the opportunity for the general public to participate online. See the flyers, links, and details for each of the three panel discussions below.
