Resumen

This article explores diverse cases of social exclusion across time and space aiming to uncover itsessential production processes. Special attention is paid to the various ways in which exclusionoriginates and how it becomes ingrained into the structure of society. Cases of exclusion are drawnfrom the U.S., Japan, China, India, and Jamaica. The study found that social exclusion is aphenomenon which derives primarily from ethnocentric dispositions which express through avariety of discursive and social practices aimed at keeping certain groups relegated to the bottomof society. Also, that some excluded communities are able to develop collective identities andadversarial cultures which translate into politicized identities. The article ends by pointing out tosome of the difficulties present in the social deconstruction of exclusion
