Abstract
En 中文
While the term “Latina/o/e/x” (hence, Latinx) has become widely used to refer to people of Latin American origin or descent, it has been scrutinized for its ambiguity, homogenization, and oppressive approach to difference. These debates have entered the field of education, which struggles to define what it means to signify or affirm when it claims a population or educational project asLatinx. This article draws from cultural studies to call for a critical cultural politics of Latinx education. This approach to (re)articulating Latinx education is defined by its politics of antiracism instead of its coherence as a “real” or unified identity. I offer three conceptual approaches to racism—racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and antiblackness—and look at the ways hegemonic significations of Latinx education often uphold, rather than challenge these structures. Overall, I argue for a strategic (re)articulation of Latinx education defined by its politics of antiracism and justice.
