Desvelando el Mito de la Meritocracia
This article critically examines the myth of meritocracy as a dominant ideology that conceals structural inequalities while legitimizing privilege and capitalist domination. Drawing from Marxist, feminist, and decolonial traditions — including the works of Lenin, Freire, Bourdieu, Gramsci, and hooks — the piece argues that meritocracy operates not as a fair mechanism for social mobility, but as a hegemonic tool that masks class, race, and gender …

Freire and a revolutionary praxis of the body
It is the human body, young or old, fat or thin, of whatever color, the conscious body that looks at the stars. It is the body that writes. It is the body that speaks. It is the body that fights. I

Latina/o formations in the United States
The last four decades have marked an epochal socio-economic transformation in the nature of US society. Nowhere is this more obvious than the precipitous growth of US-born Latino and Mexican/Latino immigrant populations. According to the US census, the previous decade (2000–2010) alone accounted for a 43% increase, with the majority residing in states like California, Illinois, Florida, and New York. However, more recently, new Latino (primarily …
Neoliberalism in the Academic Borderlands
The article examines the negative impact of neoliberal policies upon the work of border intellectuals within the university, whose scholarship seeks to explicitly challenge longstanding structural inequalities and social exclusions. More specifically, the notion of neoliberal multiculturalism is defined and discussed with respect to the phenomenon of economic Darwinism and the whitewashing of contemporary academic labor, despite a tradition of pr…

Culture and Difference
The yearning to remember who we are is not easily detected in the qualitative dimensions of focus groups and ethnographic research methods; nor is it easily measured in standard quantified scientific inquiry. It is deeply rooted, obscured by layer upon layer of human efforts to survive the impact of historical amnesia induced by the dominant policies and practices of advanced capitalism and postmodern culture. Darder's introduction sets the tone …
"Problematizing the Notion of Puerto Ricans as "Underclass
The article examines the social science concept of the underclass with respect to its historical origin, meaning and general usage during the past 3 decades and more specifically, in terms of its more recent use for Puerto Ricans. A critique is presented that not only challenges the use of the term "underclass" to describe the phenomenon of poverty in the Puerto Rican community today, but that also calls into question the interests of the politic…
