CERON-ANAYA, Hugo. Mixing Races, Whiteness, Racialization, and Class: A New Understanding of Social Inequalities in Mexico. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.106, pp.157-190. Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 2007-8358.
This article reflects on the ideas of mixed races, whiteness, racialization, and class by developing two intimately related arguments. The first is in opposition to the idea that Mexicans give no importance to racialized categories and demonstrates the way in which subjects and social practices are read through a hierarchy that situates the white and the non-white on opposite poles of a spectrum that offers a series of positive connotations for the former and negative connotations for the later. The second is that the big difficulty for understanding racialized Mexican thinking —and to a certain extent Latin American thinking— is the way in which racialized notions and class dynamics are intertwined. Thus, the author proposes a model of analysis in which social class and racialization operate as a single unit. The empirical material to demonstrate these two arguments comes from an ethnographic study done at three Mexico City golf clubs, as well as fifty-eight interviews carried out among club members, workers, and instructors.
