This presentation is a gendered analysis of black invisibility in Argentina. It focuses on Black and African descended women who actively partook in the construction of racial identities during the eighteenth and nineteenth century in Cordoba. Focused on the household and intimate relationships that ensued, Edwards argues that Black and African descended concubines, wives, mothers, and daughters are central to understanding the making of a white Argentine nation.
Erika Denise Edwards is an associate professor of Latin American History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Edwards' research centers on the black experience in Argentina. Edwards' research advocates for a re-learning of Argentina's black past and the origins of anti-blackness. Her advocacy extends to community engagement where she currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors for Latin Americans Working for Achievement (LAWA).
