本文以20世纪20年代阿根廷的连环漫画《Página del Dólar》为例，探讨了拉丁美洲黑人同时处于从属地位和有限包容的双重动态。漫画对黑人的描述是种族主义的，但也是矛盾和复杂的。超越共同的特点的排斥/包容的动态作为一个面具的包容隐藏的现实排斥，我认为，排斥加包容的包容性和相互渗透是很重要的理解拉丁美洲的种族形成。在文学作品中，这种动态的作品以多种方式并没有得到充分的欣赏，它强调种族等级制度的再现：同时，它也为国家形象提供了特殊性;它为中产阶级提供了一个道德基准，特别是在关系和模糊的阶级和种族位置。幽默的领域很容易传达矛盾的含义，因为它为读者提供了距离（“这只是一个笑话”），同时也传递了重要的情感负荷。
This article explores a dual dynamic of simultaneous subordination and limited inclusion of Blackness in Latin America, using the example of a 1920s’ Argentinian comic strip, “Página del Dólar”. The comic's representations of Black people are racist, but also ambivalent and complex. Going beyond common characterisations of the exclusion/inclusion dynamic as a mask of inclusion hiding the reality of exclusion, I argue that the simultaneity and interpenetration of exclusion-plus-inclusion are important for understanding Latin American racial formations. The dynamic works in multiple ways are not fully appreciated in the literature, which emphasises the reproduction of racial hierarchy: as well, it lends specificity to images of the nation; and it provides a moral benchmark for middle classes, especially in relational and ambiguous class and racial locations. The domain of humour is apt for conveying ambivalent meanings, because it provides distance for the reader (“it's just a joke”), while also transmitting important affective charge.
