%X after independence was achieved and throughout the 19th century, political, economical and cultural colombian elites invented a model of nation based on the idea that highlands and white race were progress exclusive raw material, as though; based on racial and geographical attributions a regional hierarchy was built, and this allowed the configuration of local identities defined by this model. meanwhile, besides antioquia had an important presence of african and african descendant population since colonial times, from different enunciation places and turning over the colonization entrepreneurship of the 19th century as a the foundational myth, representations that showed antioquia and its inhabitants as a successful correlate of the relationship between andean highlands and white race started to be created, opposing to the negative valuation over lowlands and black population. this article, on one side, examines which were the representational mechanisms of africans and their descendants in antioquia through tomas carrasquilla literary work, and, on the other, wants to make evident that those creations marginalized the contributions done by africans and their descendants to antioquean history.
