NAVARRETE LINARES, Federico. Whiteness vs. Whiteness, Miscegenation and Privilege in Mexico from the XIX to XXI Centuries, an Interpretation Proposal. Estud. sociol [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.spe, pp.119-150.  Epub 22-Set-2023. ISSN 2448-6442.  https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2022v40.2080.

In this article I present a general interpretation of the practices of classification, segregation, and discrimination between populations of different bodies, cultures, and origins within the framework of the construction of the nation-state in Mexico from the 19th to the 21st century. Important conceptual frameworks such as racialism and racism, miscegenation, pigmentocracy, whiteness and whiteness, liberalism, science, and reason are shown, each of which were used in the period by intellectuals and writers, historians, anthropologists, philosophers of science, qualitative and quantitative sociologists, geneticists and political scientists. I think they all offer us valid perspectives, in the sense that they were used by various historical actors to conceptualize the complex, intricate, unequal and violent relations between human groups defined as “Indians”, “Blacks”, “Chinese”, “Lebanese” and “Creoles”, “whites” and now “whitexicans”, or alternatively “citizens”, “criminals”, “modern” or “reasonable people”, not to mention “men”, “women” and so many other gender categories.

Palavras-chave : segregation; of mixed race; discrimination; whiteness.
