Mestizaje Reloaded: Racial politics after the Multicultural turn in Mexico

In this presentation I analyze how the responses of Mestizos to multicultural and intercultural ideas, practices and policies take shape in Mexico. I explore the complexities of this period by looking at the two most relevant state policies during this period: Intercultural Education, in particular the establishment of around 20 intercultural Universities throughout the country since 2003. Second, the inclusion for the first time, of Afrodescendent people in official statistics a nd the use of a skin colour pallet. Through the discussion of these examples I will try to map out the different spaces where emerging ideas of identity, culture, race and resistance are being shaped. Each of them is a good exponent of what I identify as the key issues that inform current racial politics in Mexico: the reification of cultural differences and a invested denial of racial categories. All, I argue here, are under the mantle of a possessive investment in mestizaje, to assure that Mestizo privilege stays put.
