abstract = "Today, at the threshold of the XXI century, the question of ethnicity and the problem of racial inequality and discrimination are still among the principal challenges for a project of society where real equity and substantive democracy are a priority, This is registered after the struggles of independence which achieved the decolonization of Africa and the Caribbean, after the movement of civil rights and black power of the decades of 1960 and 1970 whose focus was in the USA but which had which had worlwide importance and  historical influence and efter the worl conference against racism and other forms of discrimination celebrated in Durban, South SAfrica in 2001 and after celebrating the international year of Afro-descendants. What is the power of the diaspora, today, in the American from both a historical and global perspective? This implies reviewing  our collective historical memory and the very definition of diaspora. There are two principal angles from where to direct this perpective, that together picture two interlaced histories, one of domination and oppression in relation with empowermrnt and liberation.",
