En este artículo se reconoce que la educación formal está poderosamente influida y delineada, desde sus bases, por fundamentos y orientaciones eugenésicos y de darwinismo social que la hacen altamente proclive a la producción y reproducción del racismo de modo que, con o sin contenidos racistas explícitos o implícitos, la educación formal ofrece condiciones que le permiten a éste verificarse por el solo hecho de que se desarrolle el plan curricular correspondiente. Con todo, ni los organismos internacionales que tienen en sus agendas la encomienda de prevenir y de luchar en contra del racismo, ni las instituciones locales que se han establecido en el país con un fin parecido parecieran notar este hecho, y tampoco lo hace la mayoría de las investigaciones que en México exploran el tema del racismo en la educación institucional.

This paper examines Hannah Arendt's Reflections on Little Rock essay placing it in the context of her more systematic thinking about racism. It is argued here that in the case of black people, Arendt is not consistent with her original position on such matter mainly based on the Jewish question. Therefore, Arendt shows a severe misunderstanding about this issue due to her lack of attention not only to the tenets of Kantian reflective judgment -- that she rescued for the domain of politics -- , but also to her own conception of public, private & social domains.

Although there appear to be no overt racial distinctions in Mexico, the existence of racism in Mexico is debated. Racism is portrayed as a maiden with which the country flirts. Racism lurks in occurrences of cultural conflict & territorial repossession. This is because mestizaje (crossing of the races) in the Mexican concept of identity has the existence of native peoples at its base. This Other may be ostracized with severe discrimination or rendered visible with the extreme advocacy of rights for native peoples & communities. Racism in Mexico will not disappear by decree. The deception that it does not exist must be returned into tolerance before civil disobedience results. Adapted from the source document.

This article presents the first findings of an investigation about the processes of identity formation and reproduction in the face of structural racism in tenek groups from the north of Veracruz, migrants in the southern metropolitan area of Tamaulipas. The proposal is part of the studies on indigenous migration and racism. The objective of this work is to show the current situation of tenek migrants and the way in which the various racism and classism they experience affect their identity formation. The methodology used is qualitative. The semi-structured interview and the documentary review were applied as research tools. One of the conclusions of the writing is that there is not a single type of racism but several about the tenek indigenous people, in addition the ways in which their identity is affected is heterarchical and depends on the previous social and economic resources that the migrant has in your place of origin.

Studies on racism against Chinese residents in Mexico have focused on the massacre of an indeterminate number of them during the Mexican Revolution, or on constant ejections that occurred between 1910-1930. Those surveys explain those facts on the grounds of economic structure & class relationships. Trevino's article has a twofold goal. First, proving that the focus on massacres or ejections -- which were, indeed, isolated cases obscures the fact that discrimination against Chinese communities was a widespread & ongoing practice. &, second, establishing that while the economic factor may have played a relevant role in the scenario of "antiChinese" hatred, it was not the major factor. The author suggests, instead, that discrimination against Chinese people had its origins in a construction of social identities based on difference, in which race was the more visible trait. In other words, racism was a building block in the formation of post-colonial Mexico. References. Adapted from the source document.

An examination of the racial & cultural discrimination that has been experienced by the indigenous people of Chiapas, Mexico, 1876-1994. A historical, theoretical, & methodological approach is taken to analyze the production of the ideology of otherness & the construction of values & norms of domination & racism. Drawing on the theories of Antonio Gramsci, this discrimination is understood as a function of contemporary oligarchy. S. Jameson

The Haitian nation was born of numerous ethnic groups that the dominant classes considered a homogenous mass of slaves or former African slaves. In contrast to the racial discrimination that justified colonial labor relations, they invented a colony of populating that expressly included the original ethnic groups within and Americanist, rebellious conception which was probably unique in the 18th century. The isolation of local elites by the international community after 1804 led to endogenous development and favored a state organization different from that which prevailed during that period. These elites questioned nineteenth-century racism, without ceasing to adhere to Western civilizing aims. The American occupation of 1915 absorbed them and began the political marginalization of the masses, so that from independence to date no conscious dialogue between the elites and the masses has taken place.
