Racismo y discriminación en la atención a mujeres totonacas en Veracruz, México: la necesidad de competencias interculturales
Resumen
Objetivo. El racismo es una desigualdad en la salud que ha sido desatendida. El objetivo es examinar la salud materna en México rural con respecto a las diferentes formas de discriminación. Material y métodos. La investigación está basada en un trabajo de campo antropológico llevado a cabo en la región Sierra del Totonacapan en Veracruz, México. Resultados. Distinguimos y documentamos empíricamente omisiones y violaciones a los derechos humanos, antes de analizar las fuentes del racismo desde una perspectiva interseccional, según la cual género, clase y raza constituyen fuentes de discriminación estrechamente enlazadas. Conclusiones. Finalmente proponemos un enfoque de competencia intercultural para enfrentar el racismo en su confluencia con otras ideologías. Este enfoque está dirigido a los profesionales como actores conscientes, reflexivos y transformadores de las interacciones interculturales.
