Con un afán polémico y un tono irreverente, este libro busca despertar el debate y denunciar la prevalencia de nuestras costumbres racistas y las formas de pensar que las acompañan.

A partir de ejemplos cercanos y actuales, el historiador Federico Navarrete realiza un original análisis de los vínculos entre el racismo y graves casos que han cimbrado a México: desde los feminicidios en Juárez, pasando por la matanza de migrantes en San Fernando, hasta la desaparición forzada de los normalistas de Ayotzinapa.

El racismo impera en México. Es un hecho cotidiano que cobra forma lo mismo en una charla privada que en anuncios de tintes "aspiracionales" o en políticas públicas excluyentes. Desafortunadamente, una gran parte de la población es indiferente ante el fenómeno.

"Una de las causas por las que hemos tolerado la atroz espiral de muerte y violencia que nos ha rodeado en los últimos años han sido los prejuicios racistas que nos dividen y que han vuelto invisibles en vida, y por lo tanto también prescindibles, asesinables y desaparecibles a la mayoría de nuestros compatriotas"

Amén de ofrecer un examen de los orígenes históricos del racismo en México, vinculados con lo que llama la "leyenda del mestizaje", Federico Navarrete nos ofrece una serie de posibles caminos para liberarnos de esta lacerante situación en busca del respeto a las diferencias y la convivencia sensata. Su aviso es claro y oportuno: estamos a tiempo de hacer de la pluralidad un germen de convivencia y esperanza.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With a provocative spirit and an irreverent tone, this book seeks to spark debate and expose the persistence of our racist customs and the ways of thinking that sustain them.

Drawing on contemporary and relatable examples, historian Federico Navarrete offers an original analysis of the links between racism and the grave cases that have shaken Mexico: from the femicides in Juárez and the massacre of migrants in San Fernando to the forced disappearance of the Ayotzinapa teaching students.

Racism prevails in Mexico. It is an everyday reality that takes shape in a private conversation just as much as in "aspirational" advertising campaigns or exclusionary public policies.

Unfortunately, a large segment of the population remains indifferent to this phenomenon.

"One of the reasons we have tolerated the atrocious spiral of death and violence that has surrounded us in recent years has been the racist prejudices that divide us and that have rendered most of our fellow citizens invisible in life--and therefore disposable, killable, and disappearable."

In addition to offering an examination of the historical origins of racism in Mexico, connected to what Navarrete calls the "myth of mestizaje," the author proposes a series of possible paths toward freeing ourselves from this painful situation in pursuit of respect for difference and sensible coexistence. His warning is clear and timely: we still have the chance to turn plurality into a seed of coexistence and hope.
