This project investigates why rights have been enacted and implemented only for some Afrodescendent populations. In many places, Afrodescendent movements have been politically visible and culturally resonant since the 1980s and yet they have been unable to achieve substantive recognition of their rights. To achieve understanding of why only some places have extended rights to Afrodescendent populations while others have failed to do so, this study compares the differential recognition of Afrodescendent populations in two places. Data come from interviews, archival records in both places, and 12 months of participant observation. Findings from this research will improve understanding of processes that enhance recognition of diverse groups and so contribute to national cohesion and well-being.This project seeks to explain in comparative perspective why only some places have extended rights to Afrodescendent populations while others have failed to do so. Two places with opposite trajectories of political recognition or lack thereof of Afrodescendent populations are investigated. It is hypothesized that the differences are due to differences in long-term projects of nation-state formation, practices of ethno-political organization, and critical junctures of regime change. A key analytical approach to critical junctures is to disentangle the analysis of local settings where mobilization processes emerge from the analysis of national arenas where political claims are recognized.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目调查了为什么仅针对某些非洲人口颁布和实施权利。 在许多地方，自1980年代以来，非洲言度运动在政治上是可见的和文化共鸣的，但是他们无法实现对其权利的实质性认可。为了了解为什么只有某些地方对AfroDescendent人口的扩展权利而而有些则没有这样做，本研究比较了两个地方对AfroDescentent人群的不同认识。 数据来自访谈，两个地方的档案记录以及参与者观察的12个月。 这项研究的结果将提高人们对流程的理解，从而增强对不同群体的认识，从而有助于国家的凝聚力和福祉。该项目旨在从比较的角度来解释为什么只有某些地方对AfroDescentent人口进行扩展权利，而另一些人则没有做任何权利所以。研究了两个具有相反政治认可或缺乏非洲人口的轨迹的地方。 假设差异是由于民族国家形成的长期项目的差异，民族政治组织的实践以及政权变革的关键关头。 关键连接的关键分析方法是解除对当地环境的分析，在该环境中，动员流程从对国家竞技场的分析中出现出来，在国家竞技场的分析中，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子来支持的，并被认为是值得支持的优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
