      «Afro-descendant studies in Latin America: a field in constant expansion and movement» is the title of the call of this issue of Tabula Rasa. With this call we sought to receive articles that will take stock of the trajectories, characteristics and debates that can be traced in these studies in the region. We were surprised by the reception that this call had, receiving a good amount of proposals for evaluation. Some of the texts that arrived were not included in this issue because they consisted of investigations of historical or contemporary aspects related to Afro-descendant populations, but were not framed in the purpose of presenting art states of these studies.

      Among the articles we publish in this issue, the first two focus on cross-sectional readings of these studies from issues such as racism and miscegenation (Peter Wade) or the question about the place and contributions of Afro-descendant intellectuals (Elena Oliva). Other articles that make up this number have been written from the reference of the nation-state around which an academic establishment and a political and emergency nucleation of these studies are articulated: Argentina (Eva Lamborghini, Lea Geler and Florencia Guzmán), Chile ( Montserrat Arre and Paulina Barrenechea), Colombia (Pedro Velandia and Eduardo Restrepo), Cuba (Milena Annecchiarico), Mexico (María Camila Díaz and María Elisa Velásquez), and Uruguay (Viviana Parody). In addition, there is a study that focuses on Central America (Carlos Agudelo).
