VAMOS HABLAR INGLÉS Podcast Episode 2: "La Modernidad de Latinoamerica: Los Tres Blanquis"
In this episode, join LA REINA TAÍNA as she explores the concepts of blanquitud, blanquedad, and blanqueamiento, collectively referred to as "Los Tres Blanquis," a term she coined to describe how white supremacy influences the history and present of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The discussion begins by connecting these terms to modern Latin American identity, focusing on how blanquitud shapes beauty standards and media representation. At the same time, blanquedad normalizes whiteness as a societal norm, marginalizing Afro-descendant voices. The episode highlights contemporary examples of blanqueamiento, illustrating the socio-political dynamics that reinforce systemic inequalities.
LA REINA TAÍNA also delves into biopolitics, examining how governance intersects with racial identity and discusses the historical origins of the Latinx identity via the Latin Baroque Period as researched by Bolívar Echeverría. The Négritude Movement is explored as a pivotal force in fostering Black consciousness and solidarity.
Concluding with key insights and recommended resources, this episode advocates for reclaiming narratives and engaging in storytelling as essential tools for cultural empowerment.
