In Bolivia's plurinational conjuncture, novel political articulations,
legal reform, and processes of collective identification converge in
unprecedented efforts to re-found the country and transform its
society. This ethnography explores the experiences of Afrodescendants in
plurinational Bolivia and offers a fresh perspective on the social and
political transformations shaping the country as a whole. Moritz Heck
analyzes Afrobolivian social and cultural practices at the intersections
of local communities, politics, and the law, shedding light on novel
articulations of Afrobolivianity and evolving processes of collective
identification. This study also contributes to broader anthropological
debates on blackness and indigeneity in Latin America by pointing out
their conceptual entanglements and continuous interactions in political
and social practice.
