Marrones Escriben – Selection 7

“ We ask ourselves: where are the social security contributions? Where are the unpaid contributions that racialised people should have received? Domestic work is a feminised job. According to the state, 76.8% of domestic cleaners in Argentina are employed in precarious condition.” (Page 54)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 6

“To denounce trigger-happy occurrences in Argentina as racist crimes is the first step towards addressing that police and institutional violence is exercised against non-white bodies.” (page 52)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 5

“Lohana, Diana and Daniela have something in common: they are racialised transvestites who have opened up the discussion about the racialisation of the transvestite-trans identity – an often invisibilised fact that we must make it visible so rights can be demanded” (page 44)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 4

“In Argentine cinema, for example, there is colourism in the way in which roles are assigned to the actors. Often actors who have a Marrón or indigenous phenotype are cast to play secondary roles” (Page 36)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 3

"Whitening operates in the collective unconscious that demands more and more from the masses to be able to be on equal terms with an advertising capitalist market that constantly demands social whitening." (page 34)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 2

“ Colourism becomes effective when, for example, social mobility and class are associated with European skin tones and phenotypes" (page 29)

Marrones Escriben – Selection 1

‘Where are we, the Marrones? Who writes about anti-racism? Where do we look for answers? How much is their guilt worth? Where does your family's gold come from? Who gets to read it? Who generates empathy? How many are ‘we? What is a mirror? What colour is the Buenos Aires conurbation? And the prisons? And the shantytowns? Where are we? Where do you see your colour?” (Page 7)
