Resumen

MUTSAKU KAMILAMBA, Kande. Mestizaje y racismo en la representación política en México. Latinoamérica [online]. 2005, n.40, pp.245-263. ISSN 2448-6914.

Citizenship demands social integration and a conscience of belonging not only to a city, a national State or a federal State, but also to a community strengthened by its own culture and history. Citizenship it is not nationality. While nationality refers to a person belonging to a nation-state, citizenship is based on the right to participate, directly or indirectly, in society administration. Whereas nationality creates the duty of solidarity, citizenship grants the rights. In Latin America and Mexico, the homogenizer logic inherited from a unifying trend had tried to eliminate and make go away the differences of the region. As a result, discrimination attitudes have developed against African-origin people, whose citizenship’s exercise has been constraint. Some expressions are revealing; for instance, “being white” ratifies you a place in society, “being mulato” is a curse, and “being black” means a little bag full of coal that can be sell to anyone.

Palabras llave : Mixed race; Racism; Citizenship; African Mexico; African America; Discrimination.
