This article intends to study and make visible the way in which Black women experience
discriminatory practices in an intermediate agrarian city like Talca, in the Maule Region (Chile).
In particular, it is intended to know the type of racist discrimination they suffer, what such situations mean and the response mechanisms they build. Using a theoretical framework focused on the coloniality of power and the coloniality of gender, six interviews with Afrodescendant women are analyzed through critical discourse analysis. It is observed that the interviewees have experienced practices of racist discrimination and linked to the hypersexualization of their bodies for being women. Faced with these experiences, they have deployed a series of self-affirming and claim strategies, which have involved a certain
racialization of Chilean society.
