El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios africanos y de la Diáspora Africana [CEADA] invitan a la conferencia “Los grandes retos que debe resolver el pueblo Afrocolombiano” presentada por José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.



Al estudiar las causas de la problemática de los Afrocolombianos, encontramos que básicamente está determinada por una dinámica que ha prevalecido en la sociedad colombiana, desde la colonia hasta nuestros días, mediante la cual, producen capital para otros y no les permite producir capital para sí mismos, manteniendo a estas comunidades en un proceso de descapitalización permanente y en los límites de la marginalidad social. Lo que preocupa no solo es la pobreza marginal del pueblo afrocolombiano, y la discriminación a que son sometidas sus gentes, la cual no sólo se manifiesta en actitudes de las mayorías de las otras etnias o grupos sociales blanco - mestizos colombianos, sino, además en las escasas y restringidas posibilidades ofrecidas tanto por el Estado, como por la empresa privada; esto aun cuando han pasado más de dos siglos de ruptura con la colonia y de nacimiento de la República.

De manera documentada, desde la trata de personas y su esclavización hasta la colonia, desde las campañas independentistas hasta la formación de la República, desde los albores de la República hasta la situación contemporánea del estado colombiano. José Eulicer se embarca en un diagnóstico y nos cuenta sobre los grandes desafíos que debe resolver el pueblo afrocolombiano.

“The great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve” presented by José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.
When studying the causes of Afro-Colombians' problem(s), we find that it is basically determined by a dynamic that has prevailed in Colombian society, from the colony to the present, through which they produce capital for others but do not allow them to produce capital for themselves, keeping these communities in a process of permanent decapitalization and the limits of social marginalization. What is worrying is not only the extreme poverty of Afro-Colombians and the discrimination to which their peoples are subjected, which is not only manifested in the attitudes of other ethnic groups or social groups such as whites and mestizos but also the scarce and restricted possibilities offered by both the State and the private sector; even when more than two centuries have passed since the break-up with the Spanish Empire and the birth of the Republic.
Documenting, from the trafficking of persons and enslavement to the colony, from the independence campaigns to the formation of the Republic, from the dawn of the Republic to the contemporary situation of the Colombian state. José Eulicer embarks on a diagnosis and tells us about the great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve.

In this episode of Back to Africa, I share my shocking experience in Namibia, a country with a deep and painful history of colonization. During my visit, I stayed on a massive 43,000-hectare farm owned by a single German family which purchased the land from descendants of German settlers, who stole the land from the Herero and Nama people. This stark inequality left me outraged and compelled me to dive deeper into Namibia’s colonial past.I explore the horrific role of Lothar von Trotha, the German military officer responsible for orchestrating the Herero and Nama genocide—the first genocide of the 20th century. Through conversations with Germans living in Namibia, I was confronted with a troubling denial of this dark history, raising the question of accountability and reconciliation.This episode sheds light on how Germany has handled—or failed to handle—this chapter of its colonial past. Despite recent attempts at reparations, I question whether the nation has truly learned from history. By examining the effects of land theft and colonial injustice, I invite you to join me in reflecting on what justice and accountability should look like in post-colonial Africa. Watch, learn, and engage with this critical discussion.
