This article explores the concepts of folklore, race and racism in the intellectual work of
Delia Zapata Olivella. It attempts, through a deep interpretation of her work, to show
that the constructions of meaning of the author propose a social and cultural description
of the racial order in Colombia. Toward this end, it will reflect on the organization of
the Afro-Colombian politic-intellectual field in order to then drawing some conclusions
about the way in which Delia Zapata conceived of folklore, race and racism in her work.
