| description | The work develops the category of amefricanity developed by Lélia Gonzalez as the base of a human rights analysis that is both afrodiasporic and anchored in the processes of resistance to coloniality in Abya Yala. In order to develop possible implications of the functioning of the law in the terms described above, we will analyse the political construction of the criminalisation of racism and the challenges arising from its mobilisation in jurisprudence. Embodying the subjects who are socially positioned as representatives of the zone of non-being, we seek to explore the limits and possibilities of human rights discourse to account for the genocidal reality to which we have traditionally been submitted. |
