This public call by the Commbne Institute - Communication, Innovation, Race and Ethnity and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) aims to select 15 (fifteen) works that will be compiled into a book to be released in March 2025. The publication will be produced in three languages - English, Portuguese and Spanish - and will feature texts that address communication initiatives developed by black and/or indigenous communicators from the African Diaspora in Latin America.

The initiative aims to produce debates on how communication takes place in different territories and how it impacts communities, cultures and countries, leaving the memory of these experiences to the future. For this reason, the call for proposals has been divided into three thematic axes: Community Anti-Racist Communication, Anti-Racist Communication and Technology and Anti-Racist Communication and Education.

Each text must include academic reports and analyses or memoirs that present the diversity of initiatives, activities and online and offline formats developed by black and/or indigenous communicators - whether or not they have been to formal schools - belonging to the African Diaspora in Latin America.  

The voice of the text does not have to be limited to the distance of the reader, so 1st person or 3rd person accounts are possible, without forgetting the rigor with citations of concepts and their sources. We want this project to reach people from countries outside the three languages of the work (Portuguese, English and Spanish). They can send their texts in their native language for us to translate into Spanish or English.

Applications will be open from March 28, 2024 to June 28, 2024. Each selected text will receive a prize of R$1,000.00 (one thousand reais).

Your registration will only be considered complete once you have filled out the form below and sent the formatted text in the defined parameters to the email commbne@gmail.com.
