| Summary: | This article outlines the social scenario that preceded the increase in violence and murders of indigenous leaders in southern Costa Rica (2019-2020), through the presentation and analysis of the main results of the study "Perceptions on ethnic discrimination and culture in Costa Rica”, whose task was to approach the social representations that people residing in the country had about cultural diversity, and the social, political and territorial situation that surrounded indigenous peoples. For this analysis, the study prepared by IDESPO-National University in September 2019, hemerographic sources, pronouncements of indigenous organizations, and specialist reports were used. The analysis carried out in this work exposed the continuous racism that surrounds indigenous peoples and dissolves them in historical memory, turning them into museum fragments or dangerous characters. In conclusion, racism towards indigenous peoples in Costa Rica is an unresolved issue, which is updated and transfigured according to the historical momento |
