Abstract


This paper will focus on the Afro-Argentinian press of Buenos Aires, between 1873 and 1882, as a particular phenomenon inscribed in the state building process of Argentine. We will analyse the ways in which these newspapers circulated and the relationship they developed with their readers and between each other. We will also see that, through the powerful tools given by the press and the actions of the journalists, the Afro-descendant community of Buenos Aires was progressively “watched”, but permeated altogether with the ideas of “civilization and progress” that their journalists felt this community lacked.
