Resumen
En las últimas dos décadas, la sociedad argentina – considerada entre las más “europeas” y “blancas” del continente- ha experimentado un importante desarrollo de manifestaciones culturales afro-americanas. Las religiones afro-brasileras (Umbanda, Batuque, Quimbanda) se han convertido en una opción atractiva para vastos sectores medio-bajos y -sobre todo- populares en el Gran Buenos Aires. El candombe afro-uruguayo dejó de ser una manifestación cultural de inmigrantes, como fue a fines de la década de 1980, y actualmente forma parte de la cultura juvenil porteña. Los afro-argentinos, invisibilizados durante casi un siglo, han comenzado a reclamar por sus derechos y han logrado incluir una pregunta sobre afrodescendencia en el censo nacional de población 2010. El trabajo examina el rol de una cada vez más aceptada narrativa multicultural de la nación en la creación de una estructura de oportunidades que permite estos desarrollos. Discute, asimismo, los roles de las variables religión, nación y raza en su desigual recepción por parte de la sociedad.
In the past decade, Argentine society, considered to be the most “European” and “white” society in the continent, has experienced an important development of Afro-American cultural phenomena. Afro-Brazilian religions (Umbanda, Batuque, Quimbanda) have become an attractive alternative for lower/middle and working-class sectors in the Greater Buenos Aires area. Afro-Uruguayan candombe stopped being an exclusively immigrant cultural endeavor, as it was at the end of the 1980s, and has become part of the “porteño” youth culture. Afro-Argentines, invisibilized for almost a century, have started to demand their civic rights and managed to include a question about African descendency in the 2010 national population census. The paper explores the role of an increasingly accepted multicultural narrative of the city of Buenos Aires in the creation of an opportunity structure that allows for these developments. At the same time, it discusses the roles of variables such as religion, nation and race in their uneven reception by society.
