SEGURA CASTILLO, Yulian Fernando e CERON RENGIFO, Carmen Patricia. The Colors of Blacks: A Look at the Social Classification among Students from Tumaco, Colombia. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.2, pp.441-454. ISSN 1657-8031. https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.4396.
In order to analyze the social classification expressed by students of an educational institution in Tumaco, an ethnographic approach was carried out, accompanied by a reflection based on the collectivity of argumentation of the decolonial inflection. It is suggested that there is a tendency to ethnic-racial whitening, in correspondence, students are usually categorized according to a gradation of skin colors, so a person is better valued within the endo-group the closer he comes to skin perceived as white. Such a situation is neither new nor casual and concerns the dynamics of cultural domination as an effect of coloniality.
