Hacia una reconstrucción del concepto de identidad cultural y étnica de la comunidad negra en Colombia

Abstract

The representation of Afro-descendant communities has been the result of a positive discrimination that has allowed them to be empowered by their roots, their representation and social importance, since with their participation in politics and in different social scenarios, the guarantee of their rights become a social priority, aimed at regulating the aspects that allow achieving those purposes of social inclusion, that although in legislative matters are regulated but the central point is to determine how much these guarantees are reflected in the representation politics, in the various social spheres; that is to say, Afro-descendant communities are really represented and their rights are guaranteed, according to their needs and cultural roots, or simply the law guarantees certain postulates that, at the time of carrying them out, are subordinated to personal, bipartisan or lucrative interests that distort the purpose of the law for which it was created. Therefore, this paper seeks to analyze a bit, the normative guarantees that are given to these communities, but in turn determining how they are violated.
