Manifesto MIRA

The phenomenon of migration is clearly embedded to a particular form of social exclusion. This is due to a strong social cathegorization of migrant as a distinct group inside society that is a consequence of a racist and xenophobic ideology. This mentality is based not only in a instinctive and primitive feeling of fear and ignorance through the foreigner as the unknown, but also in an aware abuse of power that takes profit of that general feeling and, instead of fighting it, develops mechanisms and strategies of subjugation and exploitment. This clearly reveals exclusionist ideology as an effective instrument of opression of a specific layer of society that, for its vulnerability and, consequently lack of ability to reclaim, turn into the motor of the present paradigma of economical development based on exploiment. This structure of economical growth that sustains society is only possible in a conception of huge disparity that, consequently define groups inside community in order to make exploitment possible and effective. In order to change this present structure it is needed a complex process of changing mentality by raising awareness among the whole society. This is the main aim of MIRA, that as an Interface can deal and coordinate different individuals and different collectives to promote reflection on basic ideas concerned to migration and social exclusion in order to have a sustained activism
