Mestizaje Ideology As Color-Blind Racism: Students' Discourses Of Colorism And Racism In Mexico, 2017 Syracuse University
Mestizaje Ideology As Color-Blind Racism: Students' Discourses Of Colorism And Racism In Mexico, Yvonne Perez Lopez
Dissertations - ALL
This study will open the discourse on inequity and its maintenance through colorism in
Mexico. The largest percent of the population is a mixture of indigenous and Spanish
descent. This is where racism via colorism occurs. Considered only as one group,
mestizos of a lighter skin color have more resemblance to being of white Spanish descent
and therefore are accepted over mestizos of darker skin color, who have a resemblance to
indigenous people. Racism is scarcely documented in Mexico. It is systematically
embedded in political, cultural and economic practices; and therefore limits democratic
and inclusive practices for all. Working with …

Remembrance As Presence: Promoting Learning From Difficult Knowledge At The Canadian Museum For Human Rights, 2017 The University of Western Ontario
Remembrance As Presence: Promoting Learning From Difficult Knowledge At The Canadian Museum For Human Rights, Kelsey Perreault
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis explores the relationship between memorial museums and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), Winnipeg. Although the CMHR self-defines as an idea museum, using theories of remembrance, commemorative museum pedagogy, memory, and difficult knowledge, the CMHR is also easily situated in the growing global network of memorial museums. Angela Failler's theory of consolatory hope and my own theory of past-future dissonance suggest that there are several reasons the CMHR has not fulfilled its intended mandate of advocating for human rights in the present. Through a compare and contrast approach, this paper argues that the CMHR should look to …
