“I am Atlantic”: the transnational articulation of the black women's movement and the institutionalization of racial equality policies in Latin America
This research aims to analyze how the racial equality policies were institutionalized after the Durban Conference (2001) in América Latina. We will try to identify the main actors of this process, and their institutional belongings. For this, we consider fundamental understanding the role of transnational articulation for the formation of shared identities, the construction of political platforms as well as the pressure on national states. In addition, the analysis of the role played by international organizations and funding agencies can help us understand intermediation patterns and actors. We have as hypothesis that the institutionalization of racial equality policies in Latin America was based on the tripod: black movements, national states and international organizations.
