      abstract = {This collection of essays aims to explore the  transformations of the political landscapes within which  Afro Latino social movements have been operating since the  end of the 1970s. It is premised on the assertion that,  distinctively in different national contexts, the major  characteristic of these transformations has been the  ideological alteration of the official narrative of  national identity through the passage from 'monocultural  mestizaje' and 'invisibilization' of Afro Latinos organized  by the state and other dominant social actors to  multiculturalism and state corporatism/cooptation. Every  individual essay emphasizes the processes that led to the  emergence of state corporatism/cooptation of Afro Latinos  and their consequences on Afro Latino social movements. As  many of the contributions show, these new situations have  rendered Afro Latino political struggles more complex.  Sometimes, as in the case of the Pacific Lowlands of  Colombia, they have heightened to new levels of  aggressiveness dominant socio-political actors' antagonism  towards them.},
