Mujeres afrocostarricenses y multiculturalismo tardío: reforma de la constitución de la República (blanca) de Costa Rica

Abstract: Se analiza el escenario de la reforma del artículo 1 de la Constitución Política de Costa Rica para reconocer el carácter pluriétnico y multicultural de la nación, a partir de sus protagonistas y tiempos de aprobación. Por un lado, se plantea la relación entre los procesos de formación racial y la tardanza en el multiculturalismo constitucional. Por el otro, se identifican los desafíos y estrategias de mujeres afrocostarricenses para enmarcar dicha reforma en términos de justicia social.

“…Ms. Joyce, as she is known in her community, gave thanks to the president for being true to his word: “the one … that he committed when he went to Limón.” Almost twenty years after presenting the project in Congress and during the 2013 electoral process, a group of Afro-Costa Rican women spearheaded the organization and signing of the “Campaign Commitment” in Limón, an agreement which included the multicultural reform.

“…Estoy conociéndolos, esquivan el tema, lo esquivan es que, es que para ustedes no hay racismos, para ustedes todos son blanquitos, mestizos todos iguales, donde yo no estoy incluida" (Asamblea Legislativa de la República de Costa Rica, 2015b, Expediente 17150, Reforma constitucional del Artículo 1 para establecer el carácter multiétnico y pluricultural de Costa Rica (Ley 9325), folio 572).
