| Sumario: | This article analyzes how the growth of ethno-racial social movements has contributed to the
adoption of specific legislation for black populations in Brazil and Colombia. In both countries,
the late 1980s and early 1990s represent the moment in which the state, through constitutional
reforms, officially assured ethno-racial rights to black populations. In Brazil, the 1988
Constitution assures cultural and territorial rights to the black population, while at the same time
criminalizing racism. In Colombia, the 1991 Constitution and Law 70 of 1993 ensure territorial
collective land rights to the black populations of the Pacific coast and recognize Colombia as a
multicultural state. Framed by these constitutional reforms, this paper explores the political
contexts in which black movements emerged, their articulations with civil society and state, and
their influence on public policy. In both countries black organizations have been effect ive in
establishing cultural and material policy changes. Through a comparative approach on this
subject, we can understand more distinctly the nuances within the respective movements‟ work,
as well as how their particular conflicts, impasses, and contradictions shaped the social and
political contexts in which they continue to operate. |
