%0 Journal Article %T Afro-descendant Trajectories: A Methodological Reflection %J CS;No. 12 %D 2013 %@ 20110324 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/revista_cs/article/view/1682 %X This article offers a reflection about how we think of Afro-descendant people as objects or subjects of study. To do this, it reflects on the question: How does the study of Afrodescendant peoples change when the so-called “unit of analysis” is not a slave, but an enslaved ancestor who is part of your contemporary cosmology? The way of arriving at this question, and the analysis presented henceforth attempts to highlight key aspects for advancing Afro-descendant scholarship: specifically the role of black feminist thought and practices on ancestral consciousness; and its subsequent impact on the interpretation and production of historical and socio-political sources. %K Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales %K Producción intelectual registrada - Universidad Icesi %K CS %K Geopolitics of Race %K Maroonage %K Teoría feminista %K Afrodescendientes %K Geopolítica %K Cimarrones - Colombia; %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
