What is Colormuteness

Unlearning patriarchy as a man's problem lays the foundation for a required in-depth analysis to cement an alliance among women and men who identify as feminist supporters in the trenches, struggling for equity and social justice. The authors examine schooling experiences that embed and embrace various cultures, races/ethnicities, identities, and experiences for Latinas and Black women, hoping White women will be in a committed solidarity. Solidarity and unity among the intersectionality of diverse social movements is a must for sustainability of self-determination and social democratic citizenship in a world where feminicide is the most brutal violence for women. A study was conducted among Latinas and Black women to examine cultural awareness in their K-12 education. Findings demonstrated schooling experiences that ostracized participants based on their skin color and hair texture, but women participants expressed a desire to build critical consciousness about their real-life experience as racial beings in various contexts.
