El texto presenta la situación actual de los afrobolivianos, uno de los grupos afrolatinoamericanos menos conocidos y menos estudiados. La autora pre-tende explicar las razones de su invisibilidad en la sociedad boliviana. Refiriéndose a las reivindicaciones culturales y políticas del grupo en el siglo XXI presta la atención particular a la estrategia de su visibilización mediante el uso del folklore (la tradición de la saya afroboliviana) y al papel peculiar de la ―política del lugar‖ en el contexto regional yungueño.

The paper aims at the presentation of the current situation of Afrobolivians, one of the Afro Latin American communities that are nearly unknown to the general public and the academia. The author tries to explain main reasons of Afrobolivians’ long lasting invisibility. Discussing the present day claims of the group she refers to the strategy of folklorization of its image (through the tradition of afrobo-livian dance called saya) and to the particular importance of the ―politics of place‖ in the context of Bolivian Yungas region.
