Why should we prioritize diplomatic rapprochement with African countries when we are economically more dependent on relations with developed countries?
Cooperation between Latin America and Africa should propose the discussion of Afro-descendant power and analyze the advocacy strategy for the transformation of democracy in the West.
Despite the African roots of most Latin Americans, interest in Africa is minimal, even in Brazil, which has the largest population with black-African roots outside the continent.
Since the recent anti-racist mobilizations in the United States and Latin American countries, there has been a strengthening of the black and feminist movements in Brazil as well as a resumption of the debate on race. Within this framework, there has been a resurgence of interest in ideas and theories of the past.
