Patterns of Antiblackness and Movements against Anti-Black Racism in the Caribbean and Latin America

This report, written by sociologist Agustín Laó-Montes, is an invitation to look squarely at a reality that has deeply marked our societies: anti-blackness. Through a journey from the legacies of slavery to current forms of violence and exclusion, the document helps us understand that anti-blackness is not a problem of the past, nor of a single country, but a global structure that continues to affect the lives of millions of black people around the world. With a clear focus on the Caribbean and Latin America —particularly Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Colombia— the report shows how patterns such as institutional racism, state violence, denial of rights, and the silencing of knowledge are repeated. But it also highlights something essential: the struggles, resistance, and proposals that black communities have developed to defend life, dignity, and justice.
