Abstract

In this article, I analyse the evolution of cultural policies related to Afro-descendants in Argentina since the Bicentennial. To do so, I begin by challenging the very idea of “cultural policy” as it is conceived from various perspectives in Latin America, and more specifically in Argentina. Using multi-situated ethnographic work that encompasses both state action and the agency of protagonists, as well as ethnography in regional organizations, I analyse the transition of these types of recognition policies between progressive governmentality and the recently inaugurated national government of the “new libertarian right.” I assess continuities and ruptures in recognition policies during this period (2010-2025), characterized by the alternation between these two (racialized) ideologies of government.

KEYWORDS: Cultural Policies - Afro-descendants – “Libertarian” Argentina.
