Resumen

OLAZA LOPEZ, Mónica. Within the Uruguayan government, is it possible to identify cultural policies with an Afro-descendant perspective?. Psicol. Conoc. Soc. [online]. 2016, vol.6, n.2, pp.165-187. ISSN 1688-7026.

Reports form international organisations -ECLAC (2000, 2009), UNDP (2004), Equitas Foundation (2005)- highlight the need to rethink the diversity of people's needs taking plurality into account instead of their usual representation as a homogeneous reality. According to these reports, the most convenient way to integrate vulnerable o excluded people and social groups is to introduce actions and solutions which are appropriate to each situation. This paper will attempt to provide an answer to the initial question regarding the existence of cultural policies with an Afro perspective, through the analysis of documents and interviews to representatives in charge of the equality mechanisms in the Uruguayan government.

Palabras clave : Afro-descendant; inequality; cultural policies; racism.
