Afro-Ecuatorianos y Participación Política presentada por Paola Cabezas, Asambleísta Nacional del Ec
Afro-Ecuatorianos y Participación Política presentada por Paola Cabezas, Asambleísta Nacional del Ec CEADA 59 Views • 5 years ago

El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios africanos y de la Diáspora Africana, ha sido creado para difundir el pensamiento africano-centrado y panafricanista a través de las experiencias y los aportes de los africanos y sus descendientes alrededor de mundo. Es un espacio abierto y permanente, donde se invitan expertos en diferentes áreas del conocimiento y donde el dialogo circunda en temas de interés colectivo y desde la perspectiva centrada en África, panafricana y anti-colonial.

Afro-ecuatorianos y participación política

En septiembre de 2008, los ciudadanos ecuatorianos votaron para adoptar una nueva constitución que reconocía a su país como una nación plurinacional, intercultural e inclusiva. Muchos celebraron la nueva constitución por sus disposiciones progresistas sobre los derechos indígenas y afroecuatorianos. Por primera vez, el Estado identifica a las comunidades afroecuatorianas con territorio colectivo como una forma ancestral de organización territorial y reconoce a los afroecuatorianos como pueblos, crea disposiciones para proteger sus tierras comunales y ancestrales, su cultura, su organización social y participación en la política en la vida, del país... al menos en el papel. Si bien esta constitución ofrece al gobierno y a la ciudadanía la oportunidad de abordar la invisibilidad multifacética, marginación y pobreza que los afroecuatorianos han vivido durante siglos, el desafío que enfrentan los afroecuatorianos es cómo lograr que los compromisos agrupados en la Constitución de 2008 se traduzcan en práctica.

Según el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INEC), el 7,2% de los habitantes del país son afroecuatorianos. Se encuentran principalmente en la región costera noroeste del país, en la provincia de Esmeraldas y el Valle del Chota en la provincia de Imbabura, su territorio ancestral. En esta zona del país son el 70% de la población. También se pueden encontrar en cantidades importantes en Guayaquil, donde son mayoría en algunos sectores.

Con la constitución de 2008, los ciudadanos ecuatorianos se embarcaron en un pacto social progresista. Renovaron su compromiso de asegurar que los afrodescendientes sean parte integral e igualitaria de la sociedad ecuatoriana. Por otro lado, el proceso organizativo afroecuatoriano ha tenido como objetivo reconocer los derechos individuales y colectivos de los afroecuatorianos, así como exigir reparaciones por los daños ocasionados por el racismo y la esclavitud; Sin embargo, satisfacer estas demandas depende de la capacidad de incidencia. En este sentido, el acceso a la participación política del pueblo afroecuatoriano ha sido mediado por la violencia, el racismo estructural e institucional, y del cual se han derivado otras manifestaciones que han incidido en el acceso al poder político de los afrodescendientes en Ecuador. Hoy el consenso es que no ha cambiado mucho. Siguen siendo discriminados por el color de su piel, son marginados, no tienen oportunidades educativas y laborales en relación con otros grupos étnicos, y son invisibles a las políticas gubernamentales.

CONSTITUCIÓN DE LA REPÚBLICA DEL ECUADOR (2008),

Capítulo cuarto

Derechos de las comunidades, pueblos y nacionalidades

Art. 56.- Las comunidades, pueblos, y nacionalidades indígenas, el pueblo afroecuatoriano, el pueblo montubio y las comunas forman parte del Estado ecuatoriano, único e indivisible.

Art. 58.- Para fortalecer su identidad, cultura, tradiciones y derechos, se reconocen al pueblo afroecuatoriano los derechos colectivos establecidos en la Constitución, la ley y los pactos, convenios, declaraciones y demás instrumentos internacionales de derechos humanos.

Paola Cabezas Castillo es una política y periodista ecuatoriana, y actual asambleísta nacional de Ecuador. Desde muy temprana edad, comenzó a trabajar en la radio como conductora de radio y luego como reportera de noticias para el canal de televisión ecuatoriano RTS. En 2009 se incorporó a Ecuador TV, donde se desempeñó como la primera presentadora de noticias afroecuatorianas en la historia del canal.

Su vida política comenzó en 2010 cuando ocupó el cargo de especialista en interculturalidad en la Secretaría Nacional de Gestión Política y la Secretaría de Pueblos. En 2013 fue nombrada gobernadora de la Provincia de Esmeraldas por el presidente Rafael Correa. Para las elecciones legislativas de 2017 fue elegida diputada nacional suplente (asambleísta nacional alterna). En las elecciones legislativas de 2021, fue elegida asambleísta nacional principal por la alianza UNES (Unión por la Esperanza). Paola tiene un título (licenciatura) en Ciencias de la Comunicación de la Universidad de Guayaquil y una maestría en marketing político de la Universidad del Salvador en Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Tarik Richardson, Ph.D. | Swahili, Africanity & Cultural Memory
Tarik Richardson, Ph.D. | Swahili, Africanity & Cultural Memory T. Y. Adodo 15 Views • 13 days ago

What happens when the history of an African people is interpreted primarily through outside influences rather than through their own cultural memory, language, traditions, and historical experience?

In this UWP Scholar Spotlight, Tarik Richardson, Ph.D., of Xavier University of Louisiana, discusses his chapter, “Swahili Asili: Dismantling Exceptionalism and Revisiting the African Origins of Swahili Ontology through the Folkloric Tradition,” in Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa, edited by Mohamed Saliou Camara, Ph.D.

Dr. Richardson examines debates surrounding the origins of Swahili culture and how those narratives shape understandings of culture, Blackness, identity, and Africanity on the East Coast of Africa. His chapter considers Afrophobia and cultural memory, confronts narratives of cultural exceptionalism, and examines Swahili language, spiritual thought, history, folklore, and cultural traditions through an Afrocentric theoretical framework that centers Swahili people within their own history.

The chapter also places Swahili culture into a wider African conversation. Richardson examines shared histories and cultural relationships with other African peoples while interrogating interpretations that position outside influences as foundational to Swahili identity.

This is precisely what the UWP Scholar Spotlight Series is designed to make visible: not simply who contributed to an edited volume, but what that scholar is asking, challenging, recovering, and contributing to the field.

ABOUT THE CHAPTER

Chapter 7: “Swahili Asili: Dismantling Exceptionalism and Revisiting the African Origins of Swahili Ontology through the Folkloric Tradition”

The chapter begins from the significance of Swahili as a language that has facilitated interethnic and international solidarity among African peoples on the continent and throughout the Diaspora. Richardson notes its historical importance to African-descended communities beyond East Africa while examining the complicated relationship among Swahili identity, Blackness, Africanity, and competing narratives of Swahili origins.

At stake is a larger epistemic question:

Who gets to explain an African people's origins, identity, and cultural meaning?

ABOUT TRANSCENDENTAL AFRICANITY

Transcendental Africanity: The Key to Defeating Afrophobia and Reclaiming Global Africa brings together ten chapters examining Africanity and Global Africa through questions of identity, culture, music, belonging, coloniality, language, ontology, Black nihilism, freedom, resistance, and African self-determination.

The volume offers interdisciplinary relevance for African Studies, Africana Studies, Black Studies, African Diaspora Studies, Africology, History, Linguistics, Cultural Studies, Folklore Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and related fields.

FOR FACULTY, STUDENTS, LIBRARIANS & RESEARCHERS

For faculty, this Spotlight provides an entry point for conversations about Swahili identity, African-centered knowledge production, cultural memory, language, historiography, and the politics of interpreting African civilizations.

For students and researchers, Richardson's chapter demonstrates what becomes possible when received historical narratives are interrogated and African peoples are repositioned as subjects and interpreters of their own histories.

For librarians, the chapter demonstrates the interdisciplinary reach of Transcendental Africanity across African and Africana Studies, language and culture, history, Diaspora Studies, and Black intellectual thought.
