ABSTRACT

This article proposes theoretical and methodological approaches to researching Whiteness in two countries that embraced Whiteness over mestizaje and adopted ‘late multiculturalism’: Costa Rica and Argentina. We situate our analysis within critical race and Black feminist frameworks, which argue that the construction of White identity cannot exist without the construction of racialized others and that Black women’s experiences and knowledge offer critical vantage points from which to theorize social worlds. We employ a method of juxtaposition to analyze the collision between Black women’s political initiatives and anti-Black racist responses from a White national common sense. The Costa Rican case combines participant observation with critical discourse analysis of press coverage to assess the perception of, and experience of, the first Black woman Vice President, Epsy Campbell, vis-à-vis a White gaze. The Argentinian case includes an ethnographic examination of Black women’s experiences of racism during their participation in feminist organizing. Our analysis reveals the endurance of (foundational) White national ideologies despite the deployment of ‘multicultural’ discourses. We propose the concept of ‘White multiculturalism’ to explain how White Costa Ricans and Argentines simultaneously embrace multiculturalism through progressive policies and rhetoric while maintaining investments in homogeneous Whiteness through everyday institutional and interpersonal practices and interactions.

揭示拉丁美洲白人多元文化主义:阿根廷和哥斯达黎加的黑人女性政治

摘要

本文提出了在哥斯达黎加和阿根廷这两个拥抱白度而不是混血并采用“晚期多元文化主义”的国家研究白度的理论和方法方法。我们将我们的分析置于批判种族和黑人女权主义框架内,这些框架认为,如果没有种族化的其他人的建构,白人身份的建构就不可能存在,并且黑人女性的经验和知识提供了对社会世界进行理论化的关键优势。我们采用并置的方法来分析黑人妇女的政治倡议与白人民族常识的反黑人种族主义反应之间的冲突。哥斯达黎加案例将参与者观察与新闻报道的批判性话语分析相结合,以评估对以下方面的看法和经验:第一位黑人女性副总统埃普西·坎贝尔 (Epsy Campbell) 面对白人的目光。阿根廷案例包括对黑人妇女在参与女权主义组织期间的种族主义经历的民族志检查。我们的分析揭示了(基本的)白人民族意识形态的持久性,尽管部署了“多元文化”话语。我们提出“白人多元文化主义”的概念来解释白人哥斯达黎加人和阿根廷人如何通过进步的政策和言论同时拥抱多元文化主义,同时通过日常制度和人际实践和互动维持对同质白人的投资。阿根廷案例包括对黑人妇女在参与女权主义组织期间的种族主义经历的民族志检查。我们的分析揭示了(基本的)白人民族意识形态的持久性,尽管部署了“多元文化”话语。我们提出“白人多元文化主义”的概念来解释白人哥斯达黎加人和阿根廷人如何通过进步的政策和言论同时拥抱多元文化主义,同时通过日常制度和人际实践和互动维持对同质白人的投资。阿根廷案例包括对黑人妇女在参与女权主义组织期间的种族主义经历的民族志检查。我们的分析揭示了(基本的)白人民族意识形态的持久性,尽管部署了“多元文化”话语。我们提出“白人多元文化主义”的概念来解释白人哥斯达黎加人和阿根廷人如何通过进步的政策和言论同时拥抱多元文化主义,同时通过日常制度和人际实践和互动维持对同质白人的投资。
