marginalization  

Definición

  • Marginalization is the singling out of a specific group on the basis of some social demographic characteristic that is negatively viewed by a dominant group or class who, through institutionalized and informal practices, exclude the unwanted from social, economic, and political realms of the larger society. During the colonial period, attributions of inferiority based on phenotype or the physical appearance of the Indigenous Peoples supported the manipulation of people of color for the economic and social benefit of European nation-states, which also profited greatly by the enslavement of African people.
