Racism and Its Impact on the Identity of Women of African Descent
( first contribution)
it is important for the colonial slave to review its current effect on the identity of black women and to understand the context. During the colonial period in Peru, people of African descent were treated as slaves, their rights and benefits were limited to the extreme, while the status of citizens or citizens was not a characteristic element. It is important to note the objectification and dehumanization of this sector of the population, especially women, who to date have generated a series of prejudices and stereotypes that have decisively influenced the exercise and access to fundamental rights of the African population and in particular black women. We
indicate that while the time resulted in a considerable limitation of rights for all women of African descent had a different experience in the classical discourse of oppression of women, that history has not collected or has been measured the impact of this female identity in black women, as mentioned Sueli Carneiro, Brazilian and Afro-American feminist.
Review this moment in history we can get a better reading of racism and its impact on identities. Discrimination and exclusion of the black population are determining factors that will help us identify a number of structural arrangements that prevent certain social groups full access to the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of society. These mechanisms limit the access to basic rights such as health, education, justice, decent work, areas of political, etc.
Exclusion further disadvantage in the social structure. Consequently, this sector of the population is excluded from the labor market due to lack capacity on the accumulation of physical and human capital, also access to new technologies and public goods results in a large-scale challenge.
In a society so deeply discriminating as ours, identity is key because it will be the first point of reference for self-recognition and appreciation of cultural heritage. For black women, is important to recognize that the triple discrimination because of race, gender and class, will be a critical combination that deepen poverty and called endorracismo ", hence that when we review racism as an ideological phenomenon, we must recognize the impact on women has other elements that have not been reviewed in depth in the history of our country. This blog seeks to add to this review from the diverse perspectives of women of African descent and from a political reading of the body, racism and sexism.
does this March 8 International Women's Day, will serve to reflect and replenish the public agenda Racism and Sexism, and its deep relationship with the poverty of women of African descent.
