Discursive and Social Practices in the Construction of Exclusion: A Comparative Study

Abstract

This article explores diverse cases of social exclusion across\ntime and space aiming to uncover its essential production\nprocesses. Special attention is paid to the various ways in\nwhich exclusion originates and how it becomes ingrained into\nthe structure of society. Cases of exclusion are drawn from the\nU.S., Japan, China, India, and Jamaica. The study found that\nsocial exclusion is a phenomenon, which derives primarily\nfrom ethnocentric dispositions which express through a\nvariety of discursive and social practices aimed at keeping\ncertain groups relegated to the bottom of society. Also, that\nsome excluded communities are able to develop collective\nidentities and adversarial cultures that translate into\npoliticized identities. The article ends by pointing out to some\nof the difficulties present in the social deconstruction of\nexclusion
