Item E(race)ing Mexican Americans: Why denying racial indigeneity constitutes white supremacy in family science(National Council on Family Relations, 2021-09) Verdin, AzucenaThe indigeneity of Mexican Americans has been erased by double colonization and the construction of the Mexican Other by Anglo settler colonists. Reducing Mexicanness to an ethnicity is a practice that reproduces racism and White supremacy by rendering invisible the complexities of mestizaje and mestiza/o identity in Family Science. Critical mestizaje can deepen Mexican Americans’ awareness of Indigenous ancestry, which is a repudiation of the deficit narrative of Mexican as perpetual invader.
