oppression  

Definición

  • Oppression occurs when individuals are systematically subjected to political, economic, cultural, or social degradation because they belong to a specific social group. In 1970, Paulo Freire argued that the experience of oppression is marked by dehumanization, conquest by the oppressed group, dividing and ruling by the oppressed group, manipulation, cultural invasion, “forcing the oppressed group to adopt the beliefs of the oppressors,” exploitation, marginalization, power inequities, and violence.
