The class struggles racialized. An analysis of the conflict over insecurity in the recent history of Villa Constitución

Abstract

The rise of the problem called insecurity became in a new type of social conflict, which arrived an important mobilization capacity, always associated with a discourse that identifies sectors of the popular classes with crime and raises the flags of "hand hard ". The case that we propose to develop in this article is the consolidation of a new citizenship, as well as its consequent antagonism, which matured because of the problem of insecurity and is evident in the actions of certain social actors in the city of Villa Constitución, in the recent past.We will try to focus on that level of analysis, often forgotten, that raises the importance of considering the problem of racism that extends throughout the Americas, and of which Argentina is not exempt. In other words, what we want to see in this paper is the role of the racialization of class relations in identity’s configuration and the social classifications that are evident in the studied stage.
