Native Peoples in Mexico and the U.S.: Approaches to Exclusion
Conference
June 05, 2009
8:00 A.M.
Location: Institute of the Americas Complex: Deutz Room
Open to: Public
In the last two decades, ethnicity has become a useful conceptual tool for social scientists to explain processes of inclusion and exclusion. The cultural heterogeneity and persistent social and economic inequalities of countries like Mexico make ethnicity a key concept to describe and understand social reality. Cultural differences summarized in the notion of ethnicity have been used to explain political, economic, and social process of exclusion. The aim of this meeting is to create a space for interdisciplinary dialogue across the social sciences around the question of the relationship between ethnicity and exclusion. Our primary goal is to discuss how the reappraisal of ethnicity in the social sciences can enrich our understanding of the relationship between ethnicity and the processes of inclusion and exclusion of native peoples.
