Resumen
MEERTENS, Donny. Racial Discrimination, Displacement and Gender in the Sentences of the Constitutional Court - Everyday Racism on the Bench. univ.humanist. [online]. 2008, n.66, pp.83-106. ISSN 0120-4807.
In this article, we undertake an exploration of a relatively new topic in the studies of the contemporary Colombian society: discrimination, understood in its negative as well as positive sense, although focusing more on the former. We look at discrimination - and particularly racial discrimination, intertwined with gender and the suffering of a population in forced displacement - from a field of analysis that moves between the spheres of normativity and everyday practices. The first is represented by international normativity, the Colombian Constitution from 1991 and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court during the past years; the second sphere we examine through the same lens of Court sentences, complemented by some examples of everyday racism in a poor locality on the South side of Bogotá.
