Based on meticulously conducted research, Gayles visibilizes the struggles of a people whom for years have been rendered invisible. Indeed, as Gayles observes, 'Argentina is Black, too!' ('¡Argentina también es afro!'). Pain into Purpose not only allows us to hear the voices of Black Argentines, but also reveals the genealogies and contemporary realities of Black Argentinian struggle in ways that negate the myth of a mono-racially white Argentina.'

Employing a multi-year ethnography of Black political organizing, Prisca Gayles delves deep into the challenges activists face in confronting the erasure and denial of Argentina's Black past and present. She examines how collective emotions operate at both societal and interpersonal levels in social movements, arguing that activists strategically leverage societal and racialized emotions to garner support. Paying particular attention to the women activists who play a crucial role in leading and sustaining Argentina's Black organizations, the book showcases  the ways Black women exercise transnational Black feminist politics to transform pain into purpose.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Argentina también es afro\u003cbr\u003e 1.
