| Descripción: | The economic, political or social crises because of the COVID-19 pandemic have been more drastic in societies with higher rates of poverty, discrimination, racism, polarization, and unequal distribution of wealth. Guatemala is a concrete example of this situation. Historically it has been founded on misery, dispossession, exclusion, and the hoarding of wealth in a few hands. In this case, the article focuses on one category, that of dispossession of humanity, located in the imaginary of a nation that was built on the foundations of racism and differentiated citizenship. This, of course, is part of a tradition of Human Rights violations, a structural situation that, in the history of the nation, must be understood as a condition of life for a considerable percentage of the population. In the current time, this historical heritage defines the relationships inside the society. |
