Putting the Afrodescendant movement into perspective 1/4/2016 Thompson
Rivers University: "Today, PhD candidate and TRU sociology instructor Alejandro
Campos Garcia calls it “one of the most important political movements in the
Americas,” and it is on this topic he co-edited, Identity Politics in a Time of
Afrodescendancy: self-identification, ancestry, visibility and rights, with
Silvia Valero, published in Spanish through Editorial Corregidor. The book puts
the last 15 years of the Afrodescendant movement into perspective."
The renewed focus on the struggle for Latin American Afrodescendant rights 12/13/2015 Africa
is a country: by Alejandro Campos García - "A recent symposium at Harvard
University took advantage of the 15th anniversary of the Santiago Conference to
reflect on the achievements, lessons and challenges of the Afrodescendant
movement. In terms of the former, participants took stock of the organizational,
institutional and normative transformations that have taken place since the year
2000. Referring to challenges, the conversation–between representatives of
governments, funders and activists–focused on the existence of ideological
disagreements between the so called “left-” and “right-wing” branches of the
movement, especially on the issue of building alliances with governments,
intergovernmental entities and funding agencies. Participants also dedicated
time to exploring how governments and human rights agencies are addressing the
Afrodescendants’ continued situation of social inequality."
Racialización, Racialismo y Racismo. Un discernimiento necesario 6/1/2012 Academia: "Este
artículo pretende arrojar luz sobre las diferencias y conexiones íntimas entre
los términos racialización, racialismo y racismo. Con ello pretende ofrecer algo
de claridad sobre formas de pensar y operar poco repasadas. Este análisis se
detiene primero en definir el concepto matriz de racialización, sus acepciones y
las consecuencias políticas y epistémicas de su contenido. Posteriormente, el
texto se dedica a analizar el poco discutido término racialismo. En una tercera
sección los esfuerzos de este análisis se concentran en examinar el concepto de
racismo y en describir las estrechas relaciones que éste tiene con los conceptos
anteriores. A modo de conclusión se reflexiona sobre la utilidad de este
ejercicio de discernimiento para las políticas del anti-racismo."

Alejandro Campos-Garcia talk 2/17/2011 Art Gallery, Hyork University: "The
political, economic, and social shift that took place in Cuba during the 1990s,
as a consequence of the end of the Cold War, set the climate within which a
previously silenced group of anti-racist visual artists were able to become
public. Since the late 1990s, this group has organized a number of exhibitions
where they have developed a narrative related to the claim of special rights,
group identity formation, and the defense of ethnic singularities. In so doing
they have contributed to the creation of a new framework for thinking about race
in Cuba."
