BEDOYA GONZALEZ, YESICA ANDREA. Studies on Afro-descendant women in the Colombian Caribbean: a review of the subject. memorias [online]. 2022, n.48, pp.1-.  Epub Nov 09, 2023. ISSN 1794-8886.  https://doi.org/10.14482/memor.48.598.963.

The development of Afro-Colombian studies has been nourished by various social disciplines in Colombia since the end of the seventies of the last century, giving advances in the consolidation of new fields of research from which study subjects are separated that are translated into stories told (and not counted). One of these subjects has been the women who came to the continent through the slave trade to America, causing endless actions, whether within or outside the rules of the viceroyalties. That is why the objective of this article is, from a qualitative approach, to show which have been the areas and themes that have been studied from Afro-descendant women in the Colombian Caribbean, providing an overview of the main lines of research on the topic. Among the results, it is found that women have been studied from history as active subjects within each context, from political organization through women's and feminist movements in the Colombian Caribbean, from palenqueras women and from the study of their identities, practices and discourses.

Keywords : Afro-descendant women; Afro-Colombian studies; Colombian Caribbean.
