While visiting what is considered the most European and White country in Latin America, I often asked Argentines, “What happened to the Black population?” The most common responde I heard on the streets of Argentina “there are no Blacks, they disappeared.” But how can a population “disappear” and what exactly does that constitute for a country that pride itself in being European. Scholars have grappled with the meaning of disappearance and the consequences of the myth of Black disappearance since the 1960s. This essay trace their observations and conclusions, which have the color back into Argentina’s whitende past.
