    THE INSTITUTE OF LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES ESSAY the politics of cultural representation afro-ecuadorian narratives in a plurinational framework Andrea Hale, Stanford University (2015) ABSTRACT In 2008, the Republic of Ecuador created a new Constitution with a particularly sa- lient feature: Plurinationality. Given the discursive trends across Latin America toward a politics of multiculturalism, this research is an attempt to understand the significance of cultural representations in relationship to multiculturalism. More specifically, this research focuses on ‘traditional’ Afro-Ecuadorian artists in Esmeraldas City, Ecua- dor, and their positionality in relationship to broader Ecuadoran society. The first sec- tion of the article focuses on the theoretical contextualization of the research: a discus- sion of the emergence of plurinationalism and the underlying assumptions of racial democracy that it evokes. The second half of the article incorporates the voices of many artists, musicians, academics, and activists to form an understanding of the ways in which they are part of the construction of Afro-descendant identity in Ecuador today.
