It was used to visually reinforce the social hierarchy or caste system that was forced upon the native by the Europeans. Clothing also served as another way to oppress the natives. The natives were forced to wear European clothing, which intentionally reinforced the overarching narratives of superiority and righteousness. The natives were also restricted in the types of fabrics they were allowed to wear, which also plays into the caste system. They were not allowed to wear taffeta or velvet, because these were fabrics reserved for the rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reaction<\/strong>: This article made me sad, but it showed how deeply ingrained colonialism was\/is in the cultures of Latin America. It also made me realize how significant and symbolic clothing can be in life. Like something like fabric type, which is now seen as simple and insignificant was used a form of oppression. It shocks me how something that had so much impact on people&#8217;s lives and wellbeing, is seen as frivolous now by most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also felt sad that native people of Latin America were stripped of their culture and identity and that this was also done through clothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Latin American Fashion By: Regina A.
