It\u2019s here when the <\/span><b>dominance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of culture comes into place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to think in two dimensions, globally and historically. European countries started with modern colonialism in Africa and later in America and Asia, oppressing the native people, taking resources, and stealing the land. Colonialism finished progressively when the colonies claimed their independencies and became their own countries. However, these declarations were more of a transition to a new sub-system of dominance; migrant Europeans and their descendants in the colonies kept power over the native people. Later on, trade policies and ownership\/concession of natural resources by foreign corporations. With the rise of new economic powers like the US, Canada, The Netherlands or Switzerland and their intervention in international affairs to perpetuate extractivism, neocolonialism was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two levels of dominance, countries that have been hoarding resources extracted from other regions. A less talked about form of colonialism is within countries, when they extract resources domestically from <\/span><b>indigenous territory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>cultures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Today, Europe and countries like the UK, Canada, and the US are still extracting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2005\/aug\/20\/past.hearafrica05\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the once <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/opinions\/2017\/5\/24\/africa-is-not-poor-we-are-stealing-its-wealth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">colonies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Though, the extraction is not only material but <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/epistemic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">epistemic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cultural exchange happens when an element passes from one culture to another via the members of both parties. In gastronomic terms, Tacos al Pastor are a great example. Lebanese migration waves to Puebla in Mexico brought their famous Shawarma in the 1920s. Then the dish started evolving with local ingredients, cooks and businesses started doing their modifications and became a dish that is part of regional gastronomy and collective ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even under colonialist contexts, this is possible. <\/span><b>Mole<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another example. A prehispanic dish that received ingredients influence from the colonization like sesame seeds, almonds, and chicken (just to mention some), and then it evolved throughout centuries to become a dish that culturally represents regions and towns in the center and south of Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-809d255 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"809d255\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Social Implications<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26ed403 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26ed403\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The extraction of cultural elements to reuse them without proper retribution responds to the continuity of domination of cultures and nations. Cultural appropriation is a symptom of the ongoing theft, and structures and systems like racism and capitalism support it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The erasure of cultures is a process that colonizers have done to gain ownership of the invaded land. There are two ways they have done this. The first one is <\/span><b>segregation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; after the domination of the culture, the newcomers set reservations where the native people can live, segregated from the newly formed society. Canada and the US are good examples. The second way is <\/span><b>assimilation.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instead of secluding them, they are integrated into the new society; under a discourse of a brand new mixed \u201crace\u201d. Mexico and Colombia are good examples. In Spanish, this process is called <\/span><b>mestizaje<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the union of two races* to create a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within Mexico, there are more than sixty nations, with their languages and traditions. They are alive and still exist today. But the concept of mestizaje puts them together in this single category defined by the state: <\/span><b>Indigenous<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thus, Indigenous + Spanish = Mestizo\/a, and Mestizo is the foundation of the modern Mexican identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mestizaje aims to exclude nations like Zapoteca, Mixteca, or Chontal, from the narrative of what Mexico is. By placing them all in a single group. To affirm that Tetelas are a Mexican dish, invisibilizes its Mixteca origin. This context is relevant to frame the appropriation and understand that whether domestic and foreign agents can perform it.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70347a6 elementor-cta--skin-cover elementor-cta--valign-bottom elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-animated-content elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"70347a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=19444133\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg elementor-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/www.nomadcook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/nomad-luis.webp);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Nomad Cook.

In the last years, thanks to the social media and smartphone boom, Black, Indigenous &amp; People of Color (BIPOC) have access to self-publishing platforms. In terms of who tells the stories, this is great because they are creating their content and narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of profits, wealthy chefs have an advantage. They can use their platforms and restaurants to reach a larger market.

The appropriator becomes a reference to that recipe and invisibilizes the groups who own it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I find this problematic because their customers and audiences are not necessarily aware (nor care) about these dynamics. Their clients are looking for a specific kind of experience, and when they consume it from chefs, they\u2019ll get the credit. And if we go one step beyond, even if the chef recognizes the authorship under a label like <\/span><b>Mexican Food<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s still erasing other identities that do not necessarily ascribe to Mexican, even if they are physically inside the territory that is Mexico. What if they identify themselves as something else?

I consider that it is the responsibility of the extractor to understand and help raise awareness about these problems. I find it irresponsible to profit with knowledge, but not relating to whom you take it from.
