Tomás Castillo Santillán: Bosquejo de un referente afroporteño y legendario bailarín de tango (1900-1930)
Este artículo intenta reconstruir las trayectorias de Tomás Castillo Santillán, importante referente afroporteño y legendario bailarín de tango, en las primeras décadas del siglo veinte. A pesar de que Castillo Santillán fue presidente de dos principales organizaciones de la comunidad afroporteña—la asociación mutualista La Protectora y el famoso Shimmy Club—ha permanecido, hasta ahora, una figura desconocida. Este trabajo también da a conocer qu…
‘In defense of the people of color of South America’: A new source for twentieth-century Afro-Argentine history and thought
Buenos Aires' robust Afrodescendant press in the late nineteenth century has allowed scholars to reconstruct Afro-Argentine thought and associational life during a nation-building process aimed at forcefully integrating Afrodescendants into a citizenship imagined as homogenous, racially white, and culturally European. This scholarship has helped to refute narratives of 'disappearance' of Black populations and to replace the diagnosis of 'invisibi…
Antipodal Connections
Argentines often use the term “antipodes” to describe East Asia as Argentina’s geographical and cultural opposite. Within this antipodal imaginary, Asia and its people often figure in stereotypical, mythical, or unfamiliar terms. Recently, however, there has been a surge of Argentine documentary films about Koreans and Korean immigration to Argentina. Why are so many Argentine documentaries turning to these subjects and why now? This essay focuse…

Self-Orientalism and inter-imperiality in Anna Kazumi Stahl'sFlores de un solo día
This paper examines the contemporary meanings and functions of self-Orientalism in the Argentine context by analyzing Anna Kazumi Stahl’s novel, Flores de un solo día (2002). The issue of self-Orientalism entails a double intrigue at the individual and collective levels: first, why cultural producers of Asian descent (the ‘Orientalized’) replicate Orientalism; and second, why Orientalism, in its various forms, proliferates in Latin America despit…
The darkening nation: Race, neoliberalism and crisis in Argentina
Recent studies on race in Argentina have identified this nation's 2001 economic crisis as an important turning point in its national and racial discourses. If Argentines had long boasted that they
Orientalism and De-Orientalism in Contemporary Latin America: Reading César Aira
Scholars of Latin American Orientalism have argued that Orientalism from Latin America, because of its peripheral position, does not harbor imperialist intentions but rather a desire for South-South allegiances. Nonetheless, contemporary depictions of Asia and Asians continue to be deeply stereotyped and Orientalist. This paper examines the functions of the Orientalist imaginary in present-day Latin America, especially as consumers and producers …
Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina
This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and places Argentina firmly in dialog with the literature on race and nation in Latin America, from where it has long been excluded or marginalized for being a white, European exception in a mixed-race region. The contributors, based both in North America and Argentina, hail from the fields of history, anthropology, and lite…
Toward Asian Argentine Studies
Asians in Argentina have received little scholarly attention despite the current proliferation of studies on Asians in Latin America. Asian Argentines’ absence from academic research reflects, in part, their marginality and presumed foreignness in Argentina’s past and current national narratives. Existing scholarship frames Asian descendants predominantly as members of single-ethnic colectividades (communities) illustrating ties to co-ethnics and…
From whiteness to diversity: Crossing the racial threshold in bicentennial Argentina
This article examines recent transformations on the discourses of race and nation in bicentennial Argentina, which have shifted from the notion of a fundamentally white nation to an assertion of its racial and cultural diversity. I examine the production of race in contemporary institutional and non-institutional practices that challenge the discourses of modernity according to which Argentina is a white, homogenous and Europeanized nation. The a…
