“…CRT's notion of counter-storytelling illustrates how Afro-Latin Americans and U.S.-Afro-Latinxs used voice and narration to contest monolithic mestizo nationalisms (Guridy & Hooker, 2018;Haywood, 2017;Jorge, 1986Jorge, /2010Rosa, 1996). In this spirit, counter-storytelling serves a revisionist ontology function of renarrating majoritarian racial frames that position Black people as subpersons (Mills, 1998).…”

“…However, we position intersectionality and anti-essentialism as proximal to counter-storytelling due to the need to view the contested dominant frames as not just racial, but also gendered (Crenshaw, 1989, 1991). Counter-stories in the form of political contestations across the Americas are largely conceived of as a masculinist project (Guridy & Hooker, 2018; Laó-Montes, 2007, 2016), yet our current social and political arrangements must be understood as a “gendered racial hierarchy” (Patterson & Kelley, 2000, p. 20).…”

As demonstrated through the disregard for Black humanity and respondent Black social movements throughout Latin America, anti-Black systemic racism is a transnational phenomenon birthed from global White supremacy. Across the Americas, the hemispheric parallels undergirding collective resistance to anti-Black racism and state-sanctioned violence lend themselves to multifaceted interdisciplinary scholarly examinations. Using transnational anti-Black racism in Latin America as a point of departure, we advance a theorization of critical race theory in education capable of interrogating racist structures of coloniality, modernity, and White supremacy that operate globally to suppress Black humanity and humanness in general. To that extent, we draw from and reposition critical race theory (CRT) from its sociohistoric heritage in the United States and instead conceptualize transnational anti-Black racism vis-à-vis a Black Diaspora reading of CRT. Finally, we return to education as a key site of contestation for transnational anti-Black racism and draw implications for the meaning of this global theorization of CRT in urban education, praxis, and educational research. We end by charting new and old directions for CRT in educational research.

“…Although Latin America and subsequently U.S. Latinx racial identity are presented as fluid and dynamic vis-à-vis racialization in the United States, the perspectives of Afro-Latin American thinkers, academics, and collective social movements suggest otherwise. That is, racial politics in Latin America are antithetical to racial egalitarianism as evident in the maintenance and state sanctioning of anti-Blackness (Alves, 2018; Costa Vargas, 2018; García-Medina, 2020; Guridy & Hooker, 2018; Hernández, 2016; Hooker, 2014, 2017; Paschel, 2016; Smith, 2016). We especially see this in acts of racial violence or systemically through the lack of access to quality education, poor life expectancy, inequitable health care, and decaying living conditions (Costa Vargas, 2018).…”

US-based scholars often colloquially employ Brown as a monolithic reference to Latinidad in education research without attention to its racialized and anti-Black underpinnings. In this conceptual essay, we apprehend the currents of hemispheric racial formation within a South–North orientation to problematize the essentialist ethos of US Latinxs as monolithically Brown. To do so, we briefly trace the anti-Black sociohistorical and sociopolitical etymology of a uniform Brown Latinx identity as a byproduct of colonial logics and homogenizing political philosophies in Latin America such as mestizaje and racial democracy. In conclusion, we offer implications for theorizing Latinidades in educational research that moves beyond mestizaje and colonial logics to consider Afro-Latinx, Afro-Latin American, and Indigenous Latinx subjectivities.

Black Disappearance Histories of indigeneity, blackness, and mestizaje after the 1910 Revolution usually begin with Manuel Gamio and José Vasconcelos. Frequently anointed as the "father of Mexican anthropology," Gamio established the terms of debate for postrevolutionary indigenous policies when he declared in 1916, "To incorporate the Indian we should not attempt to 'Europeanize' him suddenly; on the contrary, we must 'Indianize' ourselves a little in order to present to him our civilization, already diluted by his, which will make ours no longer appear exotic, cruel, bitter, and incomprehensible to him." 1 These words, as well as his position directing the Bureau of Anthropology, set in motion a modern ethnographic project to study all the nation's peoples and cultures. In short, he concluded, the Mexican state could only govern justly and democratically once ethnographers charted the nation's indigenous and mestizo culture areas. There was one notable absence: in the 1910s and 1920s, he failed to see blackness as part of the national mosaic. 2
