Racism, political subordination and denied rights in Latin America

Abstract

The present study is willing to perform an analysis about the trajectory that Racism has had in Latin America. For this purpose, we will take a closer look to its grounds, its evolution, those factors that had been crucial for its continuance over the passing of time, and also examine if the different states have taken —or not— actions to restrict these practices. Moreover, we will focus on those measures that still persist at the present time, discriminating the cases that occur in the political sphere and how these have affected the life of a number of individuals regarding the recognition and full exercise of their fundamental rights.
