Resumen
El presente trabajo plantea un recorrido histórico sobre la presencia de los negros y negras en la Argentina y las actividades que desarrollaban. Durante el siglo XIX, estos, llegaron a constituir porcentajes poblacionales muy significativos además de constituir una parte importante de la fuerza laboral en casi todas las actividades productivas. Seguidamente exploramos las representaciones de hombres y mujeres negros, quienes fueron asociados a la barbarie, la estereotipia y la exotización, en medio de regimenes discursivos racializados de representación de la alteridad. Finalmente se interroga por los diferentes dispositivos agenciados desde la política racista del Estado argentino que marginó e invisibilizó, a esta población contribuyendo a borrar la percepción de su presencia en la actual Argentina.
Abstract: This paper traces a historical overview about the presence of black men and women in Argentina and their activities. During the XIX century, they made up significant population percentages, as well as an important part of the labor force in nearly all productive activities. We then explore the representations of black men and women, who were associated to barbarism and exotic stereotypes by means of discursive regimes racialized in their representation of alterity. Finally we search for the different devices put in place through the Argentine State’s racist policies that marginalized this segment of the population and rendered it invisible, contributing to erase the perception of its presence in present-day Argentina.
