Abstract
Description
El interés de este artículo es presentar un análisis sociológico de la construcción de identidades
individuales y colectivas afroecuatorianas y sus vínculos de acción política en un contexto barrial
en la ciudad de Quito. Desde una perspectiva postcolonial se concibe a las identidades como
una articulación de discursos y posicionamientos que ubican o adoptan los sujetos en contextos
determinados. Por lo tanto, las identidades son construcciones constantes que articulan diversas
categorías sociales ubicando a los sujetos en situaciones de vulnerabilidad pero también de agencia.
Para el análisis se realizó historias de vida de dos mujeres afroecuatorianas. El análisis muestra
que a pesar de las diferencias en las construcciones raciales y de clase entre las dos mujeres, el género y la etnicidad se superponen permitiéndoles trabajar juntas en una lucha constante frente al
racismo, sexismo y discriminación. Estas mujeres en sus acciones culturales y políticas no solo reivindican sus identidades sino también difunden sus derechos como mujeres y como grupo étnico.
The interest of this paper is to present a sociological analysis of the construction of individual and collective afroecuadorian identities and the political actions links in a neighborhood context in Quito city. From a postcolonial perspective it is conceived identities a articulation of discourses and position that locate or adopted the subjects in certain contexts. Therefore identities are constant constructions that articulate various social categories, this articulation placing subjects in vulnerable situations but also give oportunities of agency. To do this analyse, two life stories of Afro-Ecuadorian women was made. The analysis shows that despite racial and class differences between the two women, gender and ethnicity overlaps allowing these differences to work together in a constant struggle against racism, sexism and discrimination. These women in their cultural and political actions not only claim their identities but also broadcast their rights as women and ethnic group.
