Latin American white supremacy operates through consent, not force

Evidence

Despite the scarcity of information regarding the material and interpretative worlds of nonwhites, enough evidence is currently available to assert with confidence that white supremacy in Latin America represents an instance of rule by consent rather than rule by force. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3605

Categorization

• FICTION: The idea of a regime maintained by its victims’ consent — rather than explicit coercion — is ripe material for dystopian or satirical fiction.
• XREF: Echoes Gramsci’s hegemony concept and the general question of how elites maintain rule without overt force — connects to how ideology operates through belief.
