| Abstract: | El propósito principal de este artículo es ofrecer una perspectiva diferente de un opresor y una persona oprimida y comprender mi propia realidad a través de mi propia experiencia. Esta dualidad me hace una persona con características únicas. Características que en ocasiones me hacen privilegiada como mestizo y una persona que comúnmente oprime, explota y gobierna a otros con fuerza económica y social. Por otra parte, otras situaciones me convierten en una persona colonizada que se caracteriza por ser dependiente y oprimida cuando estoy en la posición de mujer latina en los Estados Unidos. Me gustaría pensar en mí como una mujer que está dispuesta a "desarrollar [mi] poder para percibir críticamente la forma en que [yo] existo en el mundo con el cual y en el cual [yo] me encuentro" (Freire, 2000, p. 12). Me gustaría ver este mundo como una realidad en un proceso de transformación. |
| Description: | The main purpose of this article is to offer a different perspective of an oppressor and an oppressed person and to understand my own reality through my own experience. My reality is that I am a mestizo from Ecuador, and in Ecuador mestizo is the dominant and “preferred” ethnicity. This duality makes me a person with unique characteristics. Characteristics that on occasion make me privileged and a person who commonly oppresses, exploits, and rules others with economic and social force. On the other hand, other situations make me a colonized person who is characterized by being self-depreciated, dependent, and masochist when I am in the position of Latino woman in the United States. I would like to think about myself as a woman who is willing to “develop [my] power to perceive critically the way [I] exist in the world with which and in which [I] find myself” (Freire, 2000, p.12). I would like to see this world as a reality in a process of transformation. |
