Argentina y negritud: desde la otredad radicalizada hacia discursos más igualitarios/Argentina and Negritude: From Radical Otherness Toward a More Equalitarian Discourse/Argentina e negritude: desde a outredade radicalizada para discursos mais igualitários

Palabras clave: afroargentinidad; identidad nacional; configuración de imaginarios; Argentina; procesos históricos; América Latina Abstract The first section of the present article analyses and recuperates both the academic atmosphere as well as the emergent structure of feelings of the last decade of the 20 century that made possible and helped the expansion of the studies of Afro-Argentinity until today. The second section analyses the denying logic, essential to the constructive principle of the imaginary of Argentine national identity.
