Resumen
ARAYA MORALES, Isabel. Afrodescendancy and Territory. Afro-rural identities in the Azapa Valley, Chile. Apuntes [online]. 2023, vol.50, n.94, pp.67-96. Epub 31-Ago-2023. ISSN 0252-1865. http://dx.doi.org/10.21678/apuntes.94.1955.
The article analyzes the link between territory and Afro-descendant identity in the Azapa Valley located in northern Chile. Since 2000, an Afro-Chilean movement has emerged in the region demanding recognition as a people before the State. The rural Afro-descendant community claims the Azapa Valley as their ancestral territory and the place where they have kept their culture alive. At the methodological level, between 2012 and 2014 an ethnographic study was conducted with men and women farmers in the valley. The findings delve into the history of black populations and their relationship with the resources of the territory, including cotton, sugar cane and olive trees.
