| description | This study analyzes the social imaginaries that fostered the Afrodescendant culture in Venezuelan society, the history of mentalities and social imaginaries were the methodological referents, having as source the case of the social activist and teacher Argelia Mercedes Laya López (1926-1997). The teacher Argelia Laya is of African descent and stood out for developing the “mental scaffolding” for the rights of Afrodescendants and mainly for vindicating the rights of women regardless of color or social class. Her status as social activist and her teacher role helped undermine the juxtaposition of sectarian cultures in Venezuela and the development of equal rights in a culture of Afrodescendant venezuelans. To conclude, the study of the social imaginary in Argelia Laya allows us to point out that her main contribution lies in the vindication of Afrodescendants with criteria of class equality, even beyond ethnicity, her struggle is the struggle of all women, without any discrimination. |

El presente estudio analiza los imaginarios sociales que potenciaron la cultura afrodescendiente en la sociedad venezolana, tomando como referente metodológico la historia de las mentalidades e imaginarios sociales, y teniendo referencia el caso de la luchadora social y maestra Argelia Mercedes Laya López (1926-1997). La maestra Argelia Laya es de origen afrodescendiente y se destacó por cultivar los “andamios mentales” de los derechos de los afrodescendientes y sobre todo en su trabajo en la reivindicación de los derechos de la mujer sin distinción de color o clase social. Su condición de luchadora social y su rol de maestra contribuyó a minar la yuxtaposición de culturas sectarias en Venezuela y el desarrollo de los derechos en igualdad por una cultura de la venezolanidad afrodescendiente. A manera de conclusión, el estudio del imaginario social en Argelia Laya nos permite señalar que su aporte fundamental radica en la reivindicación de lo afrodescendiente con criterios de igualdad de clases, incluso más allá de lo étnico, su lucha es la lucha de todas las mujeres sin discriminación. O estudo presente analisa os imaginário sociais que desenvolveu o afrodescendiente de cultura na sociedade venezuelana, sendo o referente metodológico a história das mentalidades e imaginário sociais e tendo referência o caso da lutadora social e professora Argelia Laya (1926-1997). Argélia Laya é de ascendência Africano e foi ela destaque para o cultivo dos “andaime mentais” dos direitos de ascendência Africano e, especialmente, o seu trabalho em reivindicar os direitos das mulheres, independentemente da cor ou classe social. Seu condição como ativista social e seu papel do professor ajudou a minar a justaposição de culturas sectárias na Venezuela e no desenvolvimento da igualdade de direitos em uma cultura de venezolanidad de ascendência Africano. Em conclusão, o estudo do imaginário social na Argélia Laya nos permite mostrar que sua principal contribuição encontrase na reivindicação de ascendência Africano com critérios de igualdade de classes, mesmo para além etnia, sua luta é a luta de todas as mulheres sem discriminação.
