Black race, racism, spirituality of negritude, interracial relationships, Haitian migration to ChileAbstract
In this article we will examine the concept of race, particularly with regard to the black race, and its conceptual projection and therefore in its epistemological connotations and projections; this in the context of the sustained immigration process of the Haitian population to our country; We want to be an instance of reflection that allows us to differentiate the concept of race from its biological meaning, to become a social and psychocultural category that, as an ideal type, allows the understanding of the growing diversity in Chile. Thus, the concept is linked to a spirituality of negritude, which derives from a spirituality in the meaning provided by Latin American theology.
