Despite the shortness of his life, Abraham Valdelomar (Ica, Peru, 1888-Ayacucho, 1919) managed to write an extensive and varied body of work in which he cultivated almost all literary genres. It is significant that in this work he barely touched upon the topic of Afro-Peruvian culture, despite belonging to this ethnic-racial affiliation himself. Valdelomar explores this theme in "Reportaje al Señor de los Milagros" (1915) and "Sobre la psicología del gallinazo" (1917). The purpose of this article is to analyze the representations of Afro-descendants and their culture presented in both texts. Our hypothesis argues that these representations do not stray from the protocol of descriptions that the West has used to solidify the identity of Afro-descendants, which are defined as hierarchically inferior beings.

In this article, I analyze territorializing practices / practices of territorialization, and the assertion of a sense of belonging made by the Pueblo Tolombón community (Choromoro Valley, Tucumán, Argentina). The analysis is conducted in a context of state recognition of ethnic difference and, at the same time, of increasing conflicts in the area over the last five years. I investigate the creation of territorial markers, such as the renovation with Diaguita symbols on the façade of the Primary Health Care Centre at the Gonzalo base, and the display of material objects or materialities belonging to Diaguita ancestors in schools throughout the region. The following questions triggered this analysis: What were the motives behind the making of these territorial markers? How were they constituted? What criteria did Tolombones consider in order to select certain elements? And, what spaces were selected to make them visible? The analysis is based on interdisciplinary approaches—such as anthropology, critical geography, and archaeology— that problematize the notions of spatiality, the agency of excluded sectors, and cultural heritage. The method I used to carry out this work was ethnographic. Participant observation and interview techniques were used between 2017 and 2019. To conclude this analysis, I can affirm that through these initiatives, the Tolombones positioned themselves as political and legal subjects by reaffirming their sense of belonging and by self-determinedly managing their material culture. The community used these markers to delegitimize stigmatizing images created by the dominant sectors —state and landowners— that have portrayed them as relics of the past. The case study contributes to studies that reveal the spiritual and community meanings interwoven around territorial practices and uses of materialities that are no longer considered fossilized or commodified objects. These practices, in turn, constitute the affective, political, and grief-based foundations of the processes of territorial claims and hold the potential to exhibit other possible cartographies and temporalities. Such practices explore dynamic past-present continuities, with no divisions. Finally, this work calls on us, on the one hand, to investigate how these territorializing practices influence processes of ethnic re-emergence and, on the other, to rethink paternalistic and essentialist logics of ethno-governmental management.

The Buenos Aires carnival in the last third of the 19th century was an arena for negotiating ethnic-racial differences in one of the most multi-ethnic and changing cities of the world. During carnival various performances of cultural appropriation took place, one of the most notable of which was that of white men in blackface. This article examines the phenomenon of blackface carnival ensembles, beginning with the first and best known, Los Negros. On the basis of an exhaustive examination of primary sources, I review its main features and possible connections with transnational culture and propose an interpretation of its performances at carnivals.

This article has as its main objective to help in the understanding of the ethnic-racial identity concerning the discrimination contexts (multiple, intersectional and institutional) based on race and its implication for the law against discrimination. The approach for the discrimination problem is referred to a series of perceptions, given that the term race is derived from the constant struggle and controversy in the social relationships, political and legal frameworks in Latin-America. In fact, the right to non-discrimination from a decolonizing perspective is attentive to the principle of equality and tries to bring near the historical need of those subordinate and stigmatized, especially in front of the Latin pro-slavery heritage. The analysis of the identity problems is well suited for elucidating the complex discriminatory situations inserted in scenarios which structures reinforce the subordination of the Afro-descendants, this being a way of eliminating the restriction to rights. This study was aided by a qualitative methodology and a data collection through bibliographic review in books, scientific articles and websites to go deeper in the knowledge of the problem.

Background: this study investigated ethnic differences in the preferred content and delivery method of a depression prevention program for perinatal women. Method: participants were 163 pregnant (66.9%) and postpartum (33.1%) women. Women identified themselves as Latinas (45.4%) or non-Latinas (54.6%). Results: overall, women preferred individual and onsite therapy across contents. Only when the content was related to improving communication, they were willing to incorporate the partner. There were no ethnic differences in the preferred format. Regarding content, women preferred to receive "information on the pregnancy process including physical and psychological changes." Non-Latinas had a higher preference for "receiving regular check-ins on their emotional state" than Latinas. Conclusions: these results should be considered when developing future perinatal depression prevention programs and evidence that work needs to be done if we want online interventions to be viewed more favorably by perinatal women.

This article's central aim is to analyze the transition to adulthood by young people from a rural municipality in the Northern Mountains of Puebla, inhabited by groups of mestizos, Nahua, and Otomí, characterized in recent decades by accelerated migration to the United States. To situate the overlaps and discrepancies in that transition, the author looks at gender and ethnic differences. The ethnographic information that is the basis of what she presents was gathered over four years of field work in the mestizo municipal government seat and in an Otomí community.
