OLIVA, María Elena. Beyond Negritude: Negrismo and Negredumbre as Recognition Categories During the First Half of the Latin American 20th Century. CS [online]. 2020, n.30, pp.47-72. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i30.3515.

This article analyzes how Black/Afro-descendant intellectuals have used negrismo and negredumbre as self-classifying categories of identity during the first half of the 20th century in the Spanish-speaking areas of Latin America. The study allows to compare them with negritude, one of the most popular categories in current scholarly work, but which, as concept and movement of cultural affirmation, only entered the Black/Afro-descendant intellectual discussions in Latin America in the 1970s. Reviewing these discourses helps to comprehend that negritude was considered a foreign concept, with different socio-historical tensions, and that within Latin America, Black/Afro-descendants had already adopted other concepts to classify their own identity.
