Between the last quarter of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, many newspapers and magazines emerged as the illustrated expression of self-identifying Black voices who sought to participate in national and international debates from a distinct space of enunciation. Of these, two magazines are emblematic due to their duration and stability: Nuestra Raza (Montevideo, 1933-1948) and Adelante (La Habana, 1935-1939), cultural publications which showcased and questioned various issues of interest for their respective reading publics. This article has two primary aims: first of all, to review the insertion of both magazines in the trajectory of Black periodical publications in Latin America; and, secondly, to analyze part of their content, such as discourses and publicized activities, which display elements of a shared diasporic consciousness, in accordance with the category of afro-descendant counterpublics.
