Reseña: this book questions the validity of the myth of Colombian racial democracy. According to this myth, Colombia´s unique history facilitated a blending of races and cultures into an egalitarian max rendering racism non-existent. This belief supports the denial of racism by the state and civil society, effectively enabling marginalization of Afro-Colombians.
The following is an abbreviated version of the Report on Racial Discrimination and the Rights of Afro-Colombians, a product of two years of systematic research conducted by the Observatory on Racial Discrimination, The study involved archival and statistical analysis, fieldwork throughout Colombia, and nearly two hundred petitions to state agencies at the national, state, and municipal levels.
The goal of this unprecedented work is twofold. First, offers a thorough analysis of the current situation of Afro-Colombians, providing a sociological and legal basis to the advocate for the promotion of their rights. And, second, it formulates concrete policy proposal and recommendations to guarantee the right to racial equality, dispelling the myth of racial democracy. |
