Racism and anti-racism in latin american universities. Student narratives

Abstract

We present results of research on racism at the university level. Racism is an ideology that mutates and transforms historically and presents itself in multiple forms to exert the domination of some sectors over others. The methodological approach was narrative, with the participation as authors of indigenous and non-indigenous university students from Bolivia, Mexico and Venezuela. It was found that for students there is racism in daily interactions at the university, among peers, with teachers and other actors in the institution, as well as the presence of anti-racist practices that we call reactive and/or spontaneous to confront it.
