In this chapter, we propose to present the paths walked as a research team since 1990, when we formed a heterogeneous and diverse group in terms of age, gender, personality and academic training, today called the Research Group on African Migrations and Afro‐descendants in Argentina (GIMAAA)13. Intellectually
and affectively involved in our work, a fruitful atmosphere was created for brainstorming, giving rise to a context of reciprocity from the passion that joined us ‐ research into migratory groups located in the province of Buenos Aires. Our physical workspace was established in the Migratory Movements section of the
Ethnography Division of the Museum of Natural Sciences of La Plata National University (UNLP). In the early stages of our work, much of the focus was on sourcing funding to enable us to carry out the research. In the following sections, we will outline the periodization of the work carried out, taking account of the study’s central axes and the theoretical‐methodological approach developed by the group.
