“…Our findings are validated by the findings of other studies (James 2012a(James , 2012bFrost 2010;Jiwani 2006) in that racial violence is experienced as interwoven with other forms of violence and discrimination. Our study also suggests that the experience and impact of being racially violated depends on many factors, including one's ethnicity and gender.…”

“…Scholarship on institutionalized racial violence against youth abound. For example, James (2012aJames ( , 2012b uses qualitative participatory methods to highlight the realities of youth of colour where various institutionalized discrimination crisscrosses and how the youth create community and belonging in the face of such racial violence. Yasmin Jiwani (2006) suggests that 'white structures of dominance' define the social order and categories and determine inclusion and exclusion criteria, which in turn guide actions towards specific groups of people.…”

This paper presents a qualitative participatory study of Canadian young people who identified themselves as visible minorities and who have experienced discrimination based on their skin colour or ethnicity. Eighteen participants aged 15-24 (12 girls and 6 boys), representing four ethnic minority groups, participated in focus groups and indepth interviews and shared their responses to racial discrimination against them. Analysis of the data from the four discussion groups reveals that racism occurs in everyday situations and places, a lot of times manifesting itself as subtle forms of discrimination. Our findings also suggest that most of the participants tend to employ non-confrontational approaches when dealing with racial violence against them, and provide us with the rationale behind their intentions. Further, youth are not uniformly impacted by racialized events, and therefore the coping strategies they use vary based on individual and contextual factors. Three common strategies for healing can be derived from the participants' narratives: expressive-emotional, spiritual-forgiving and communicative-relational. We discuss our findings in the light of theoretical frameworks of resilience and coping approaches and argue that young people's subjective appraisals of racialized events as well as contextual factors need to be addressed in any discussion on coping and resilience within minority youth populations.

“…Ambas variables ayudan a categorizar a las personas y establecer prácticas de discriminación que refuerzan los estereotipos racistas y sexistas (Gianettoni y Roux, 2010). Estos análisis tienen su punto de partida en los estudios culturales y en la race critical theory en los que se pone de manifiesto que la intersección de la variable género, clase social y etnia es determinante para comprender las injusticias que sufren colectivos como las mujeres afro-americanas (James, 2012). Estos análisis ofrecen un cuerpo argumentativo importante para profundizar alrededor de las desigualdades de género, pero no proporcionan qué estrategias y prácticas han permitido superarlas.…”

“…En este artículo hemos podido ahondar en aquella literatura que analiza en profundidad dicho fenómeno (Brah y Phoenix, 2013;Crenshaw 1991;García-Yeste, 2014;Gianettoni y Roux, 2010;James, 2012;McCall, 2005). En este sentido, hemos constatado que la estereotipación de género se duplica cuando la variable etnia también está presente, es decir, los factores de riesgo para encontrarse en una situación de exclusión social se incrementan.…”

La superación de las desigualdades de género es uno de los principales retos de organismos internacionales como la Comisión Europea. En el marco de los objetivos globales de las Naciones Unidas para superar la pobreza y conseguir la prosperidad para todos los colectivos se plantean una serie de directrices dirigidas a avanzar en la mejora de la situación de la mujer. Si bien dichas estrategias visibilizan la preocupación de los principales organismos internacionales y gobiernos alrededor de las injusticias de género, persisten aún problemáticas sobre las que profundizar. El presente artículo analiza cómo las tertulias literarias dialógicas están permitiendo empoderar a las mujeres inmigrantes y disminuir su situación de vulnerabilidad. Se ha desarrollado a partir de un estudio cualitativo con orientación comunicativa, en concreto se han realizado ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas, un grupo de discusión y observaciones comunicativas articuladas en sesiones semanales durante dos cursos escolares (2014-2015 y 2015-2016). Los resultados muestran que esta actuación educativa de éxito está contribuyendo a mejorar el aprendizaje del idioma, dotando de seguridad a las mujeres, fortaleciendo su auto-estima y reforzando sus relaciones familiares y de amistad.Descriptores: Mujer, Grupo étnico, Comunicación, Lengua, Inmigrante.Overcoming gender inequalities is one of the main challenges of international organizations such as the European Commission. Within the framework of the United Nations' overall objectives for overcoming poverty and achieving prosperity for all groups, a series of guidelines are proposed to advance the improvement of the situation of women. Although these strategies raise the concern of the main international organizations and governments around gender injustices, there are still problems to be studied. This article analyzes how literary dialogues are enabling immigrant women to be empowered and to reduce their vulnerability. It has been developed from a qualitative study with a communicative orientation, in particular eight semi-structured interviews, a discussion group and communicative observations articulated in weekly sessions during two school years (2014-2015 and 2015-2016). The results show that this successful educational action is contributing to improve language learning, providing women of selfconfidence, strengthening their self-esteem and their family and friendship relationships.

Both cultural analysis and critical race theory enable a discussion about the intersection of race, gender, and class as they are lived, performed, experienced, and resisted in stratified societies where the culture is shaped, reshaped, and maintained by mechanisms such as racism, sexism, classism, and stereotyping (James, 2012).…”

Communicative daily life stories (CDLS) conducted with Other women (without academic background) from migrant or ethnic minority descent are contributing to dismantle existing sexist and racist stereotypes and prevent gender violence. In this article, drawing from a research focused on the effects of nonacademic mothers on learning activities, it is shown how these women's stories on their own participation make them reflect on the intersection of discrimination and the ways in which they are active agents that are already contributing to dismantling them. Through the use of CDLS, under the communicative approach, the present article contributes to the ongoing debate about the implications of the intersectionality at the research methodological level.
