En este trabajo se abordarán algunas instancias por las que, a finales del siglo XIX, los afroporteños se integraban en la Nación Argentina que se construía como homogénea, blanca y europea; así como las luchasy tensiones que este proceso generaba. Enmarcado en la antropología histórica, el objetivo es realizar un contrapunto entre dos procesos considerados relevantes: su participación en las milicias y su participaciónelectoral. Veremos cómo en ambas situaciones, en las que se descubre el posicionamiento de los afroporteños como agentes históricos de fundamental importancia, se ponían en juego, tanto con tensión como con pasión, la lealtad a la patria, el compromiso político y la posibilidad de ascenso social, frente a la oportunidad de un reconocimiento particularizado al interior del Estado -reclamado por muchos. Para ello, se analizarán algunos de los periódicos afroporteños de finales del siglo XIX, así como otras fuentes de la época. Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
