Sur les traces des Afro-Argentins! #RealOne "Autrefois, la capitale argentine avait un tout autre visage. Dans l'ouvrage Civilité et politique : aux origines de la nation argentine, le professeur de l'Université Paris-Diderot Pilar González Bernaldo de Quirós relate : « Pendant la première moitié du XIXe siècle, plus de 30% de la population de Buenos Aires était d'origine africaine [la ville était certes microscopique en comparaison de la mégapole actuelle, NDLR]. » (...) Selon l'historien Felipe Pigna cité par la BBC, les Afro-Argentins ont d'abord été décimés dans les guerres d'indépendance, « pendant lesquelles beaucoup de familles indépendantistes envoyèrent leurs esclaves au front à la place de leurs fils ». Vinrent ensuite les guerres civiles, relate-t-il, puis la guerre de la Triple alliance contre le Paraguay, « où il y eut un taux élevé de mortalité chez les Noirs envoyés au front ». On évoque aussi la fièvre jaune portène de 1871, qui aurait dévasté les quartiers noirs, ou encore un départ massif vers des pays plus favorables politiquement, principalement l'Uruguay. La venue postérieure de millions d'Européens blancs, principalement d'Italie et d'Espagne, aurait ensuite réduit drastiquement la part des Noirs-Argentins dans le paysage."

The reawakening of Afro-Argentine culture
Descendants of slaves are starting to assert their identity but it's not easy in South America's whitest country.
BUENOS AIRES — "Liberty has no color" read the signs held outside a Buenos Aires city courthouse. "Arrested for having the wrong face," and "Suspected of an excess of pigment," said others. And more to the point: "Enough racism."
A black street vendor was allegedly arrested without cause or proper procedure earlier this year, prompting this August hearing of a habeas corpus appeal. But leaders of the Afro-Argentine community say this moment goes beyond any particular man or incident, calling it a watershed case that brings to trial the treatment of blacks in Argentina.
“It's not about this prosecutor or that police officer, but rather an institutionally racist system," said Malena Derdoy, the defendant's lawyer.
Argentina is generally considered the whitest country in South America — 97 percent, by some counts — possibly more ethnically European than immigrant-saturated Europe. There was once a large Afro-Argentine presence but it has faded over the epochs. Now, for the first time in a century and a half, Argentine descendants of African slaves are organizing and going public to assert their identity. Read the rest
