From the Transatlantic Slave Trade to Contemporary Ethnoracial Law in Multicultural Ecuador

Jean Muteba Rahier

In this article I examine the unfolding—within and beyond a court of law—of two relatively recent litigations initiated by Afrodescendants, in which two different antidiscrimination legal instruments provided the grounding for the cases’ “resolutions.” The argument suggests that contemporary ethnoracial legal instruments have failed to interrupt the reproduction of structural racism, or of what Tanya Hernández has called “race regulation customary law.” One of the lessons of this essay is certainly to point to anti-Black racism’s resilience, as it transforms itself as needed to better survive in also changing sociopolitical configurations. The essay uncovers the continuing operations of the Ecuadorian racial order in the very spaces and situations—the courtrooms of the justice system and beyond—where it is supposed to be combated, frontally. It reveals the inadequacy of contemporary antidiscrimination legal instruments to deal more holistically with the many facets of the situation and impacts of anti-Black racism and race regulation customary law on Afrodescendants’ affects and emotions, and the making and remaking of their precarity.

从跨大西洋奴隶贸易到厄瓜多尔多元文化的当代民族法

在本文中,我考察了法庭内外两起由非洲裔人发起的相对较新的诉讼的展开,其中两种不同的反歧视法律文书为案件的“决议”提供了基础。该论点表明,当代种族种族法律文书未能阻止结构性种族主义或 Tanya Hernández 所谓的“种族管制习惯法”的再现。这篇文章的教训之一当然是指出反黑人种族主义的弹性,因为它会根据需要改变自己,以便在不断变化的社会政治格局中更好地生存。这篇文章揭示了厄瓜多尔种族秩序在特定空间和情况下的持续运作——司法系统的法庭及其他地方——在那里它应该受到正面打击。
