LatinX Studies Final
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- Racialization: Process of assigning racial meaning.
- Today, we’re discussing racialization - how society assigns racial meanings to groups, practices, or relationships. You will be presenting your learnings.
- I never thought about how race is something constructed and not just about biology.
- Slide: 2
- I remember my friend’s comment during lunch today: ‘You don’t act like a typical Latino.’ Was that racialization? Assigning me traits based on stereotypes?
- Slide: 3
- That reminds me of what I learned in class. It’s like what Flores and Jiménez Román said about ‘triple-consciousness.
- Being Afro-Latino is complicated. People want to put us in boxes—either Black or Latino—but we’re both.
- Slide: 4
- Did you know racialization wasn’t always about skin color? In the 1930s, it was used to divide European groups too.
- I didn’t realize it’s such a dynamic, historical process.
- Slide: 5
- Immigration and Racialization
- Wow, this connects to debates I’ve heard about criminalization and race.
- Racialization isn’t just personal—it’s systemic. Look at how immigration policies frame Latinos as ‘illegal.’ That’s racialization at work.
- Slide: 6
- Between Black and Latino, I find my rhythm, my power, my voice. I am both—more than the sum of my parts.
- This reminds me of the resilience discussed in Flores and Román’s work.
- Slide: 7
- Understanding Racialization = Social Change.
- Racialization creates divisions, but it also highlights how we can resist. By understanding these systems, we can push for more equity and celebrate intersectionality identities like Afro-Latinos.
