Contrary to popular discourse on racial harmony in Latin America, research links educational inequality to physical appearance, particularly in countries with national ideologies emphasizing multiculturalism, such as Brazil and Colombia (Marteleto et al., Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, 2012, 30, 352; Telles, Pigmentocracies: Ethnicity, Race, and Color in Latin America, 2014, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, NC). This study used PVEST to explore how social processes influence adolescent self-identities and perceptions of educational access. Mixed methods research conducted among 737 high school seniors in Salvador, Brazil and Cartagena, Colombia, revealed that socioeconomic status significantly related to race and skin tone, and Black and darker skinned Brazilian participants reported the highest rates of perceived discrimination; however, perceptions of socioeconomic mobility varied by the type of school students attended (i.e., public vs. private) rather than by their race or skin tone.

在教育压迫体系中巴西和哥伦比亚黑人青少年的积极种族认同

与拉丁美洲关于种族和谐的流行言论相反，研究将教育不平等与外表联系起来，特别是在巴西和哥伦比亚等国家意识形态强调多元文化主义的国家（Marteleto 等，社会分层与流动研究，2012 年，30， 352；泰勒斯，色素统治：拉丁美洲的种族、种族和肤色, 2014 年，北卡罗来纳大学出版社，北卡罗来纳州教堂山）。本研究使用 PVEST 来探索社会过程如何影响青少年的自我认同和对教育机会的看法。在巴西萨尔瓦多和哥伦比亚卡塔赫纳对 737 名高中生进行的混合方法研究表明，社会经济地位与种族和肤色显着相关，而黑人和肤色较深的巴西参与者报告的感知歧视率最高；然而，对社会经济流动性的看法因就读学校的学生类型（即公立与私立）而异，而不是因种族或肤色而异。
