Oaxacalifornia: Espaços Transnacionais Indígenas como Cosmopolitismo de Base

Conteúdo do artigo principal

Antonieta Mercado

Resumo

Paradoxalmente, tanto a imigração quanto a indigeneidade são condições comuns para a exclusão da cidadania plena nos estados-nação colonizadores contemporâneos. As populações marginalizadas, como os imigrantes e os grupos indígenas, resistem às regras homogeneizadoras ditadas pelas noções dominantes de cultura e cidadania implantadas pelos estados coloniais colonizadores, o que implica práticas de controle muitas vezes hegemônicas de instituições como a escola e a mídia. Este ensaio discute a criação de um espaço transfronteiriço entre o México e os EUA chamado "Oaxacalifornia". Esse espaço "desterritorial" foi batizado e é mantido por migrantes indígenas mexicanos do estado de Oaxaca que passam o dia a dia interagindo por meio de práticas comunicativas e cívicas de ressurgimento e solidariedade. Essas práticas permitem a interação com vários locais e grupos de pessoas, promovendo o cosmopolitismo de base, ou um engajamento mundial que desafia as forças opressivas da globalização, como o Estado, as esferas culturais dominantes e o mercado, e a criação de espaços de diversidade, ressurgimento e solidariedade.
