ABSTRACT

This paper traces the emergence and impacts of the ethnic/racial dimension in the process of reconstructing democracy in Uruguay. This ethnic/racial element has developed over the past decade, with close precedents set in the 1990s. Yet it has been largely overlooked by policymakers and ignored in the government planning of the different administrations. The year 2005 marked a point of inflexion from the point of view of the introduction of ethnic/racial, and specifically Afro considerations as part of the interests and commitments of the Uruguayan government. These commitments and interests were linked to a changing international scenario for the acknowledgment of indigenous and Afro-descendants’ rights, with both indigenous groups and Afro-descendants exercising pressure on Latin American governments to adopt important policies such as the recognition of multiculturalism and ethnic diversity in their constitutions. Since Uruguay has been part of this transformation, the ethnic/racial issue can no longer be excluded from governmental policy agendas. To highlight the processes and challenges involved, the author reviews documentary and scholarly sources and analyzes qualitative data from interviews with Uruguayan political representatives and civil society activists.

非洲人后裔和乌拉圭民主的恢复:公民的新视野?

摘要

本文追溯了乌拉圭重建民主过程中民族/种族维度的出现和影响。这种民族/种族因素在过去十年中得到了发展,在 1990 年代开创了密切的先例。然而,政策制定者在很大程度上忽视了这一点,并且在不同政府的政府规划中被忽视了。2005 年标志着一个转折点,从引入种族/种族,特别是非洲人的考虑作为乌拉圭政府利益和承诺的一部分的角度来看。这些承诺和利益与承认土著和非洲人后裔权利的不断变化的国际形势有关,土著群体和非洲后裔都对拉丁美洲政府施加压力,要求其采取重要政策,例如在其宪法中承认多元文化和种族多样性。由于乌拉圭已成为这一转变的一部分,因此不能再将民族/种族问题排除在政府政策议程之外。为了突出所涉及的过程和挑战,作者回顾了文献和学术资料,并分析了与乌拉圭政治代表和民间社会活动家访谈的定性数据。
