About Institute of Afrodiasporic Studies (IAS)

The Institute of Afro-Diasporic Studies (IAS) is a non-profit civil association created in 2017 to educate and raise awareness of society (from a scientific, eclectic and non-partisan perspective) of Africanity as a fundamental component of the Latinamerican and Caribbean nationalities and the infinite potentialities for development that derive from it. Headquartered in Colombia and Venezuela, IAS focuses its efforts on combating structural racism, inherited from the colonial era, through the dismantling of prejudices, ideological biases and false narratives through scientific research, the promotion of academic debate, direct contact with organized communities, universities, companies, government institutions and various interest groups and through the intensive use of communication and information technologies. IAS VISION To achieve the empowerment of the Afrodescendant population in Latin America and the Caribbean by means of ethnic self-recognition, full exercise of their fundamental rights and awareness of their majority status as appropriate. IAS MISSION To promote the recognition of Africanity as the fundamental component of the Latinamerican and Caribbean Identity (as appropriate) based on historiographical, scientific and empirical evidence, emphasizing the indispensable contribution of the African diaspora to the construction of the American republics and the consequent need for reparations to the Afro-descendant population that this implies.
