| Sumario: | In this article we propose to explore the public senses about the death of the senegalese activist Massar Ba (understood to mean a racist crime) from the colective integrated by Africans and Afrodescendants in Argentina, in particular the meaning that the event acquires in the conmemorative movilization context. Based on the etnographic fieldwork, we analize the construction process of subaltern memories and its relation with the “new” ways of blackness visibilization in Argentina. Specifically, through Massar Ba case, we observe how the remembering of racist and institutional violence acts in the afroargentine present to dispute whiteness hegemonic and equality narratives and therefore to demand historically denied rights. In this process we consider that Afrodescendant leaders have a privileged position to determine the parameters aimed at recalling the racialized otherness. |
