Abstract

During the last decades, the Afrochilean people have experienced processes of “ethnification” and politization of their collective identity, which have been expressed through their demand for statistical visibility, among others. These processes have occurred in different countries of the American continent, which have provided an opportunity for the development and construction of repertoires of action of the Afro-descendants. This has been accompanied by the development and universalization of economic, social, and cultural rights. The objective of this paper is to present and examine the Afrochilean people’s demand to be incorporated in the population censuses carried out by the Chilean State. In addition, the content and fundaments of such demand are analyzed drawing from the international law on human rights, which allows for the politization of the Chilean Afro-descendants’ ethnic identity articulated around the category of “tribal people”.

Keywords:

Afrochilean people, tribal people, human rights, statistical visibility
