The desire to recognize and encourage diversity has brought forth several governmentsponsored programs, such as Intercultural Bilingual Education (EIB) and the Week of Cultural and Linguistic Diversity created by Peru’s Ministry of Culture ( Ministerio de Cultura del Perú, 2015 ). However, beyond this promotion, it is difficult to analyze at a deep level the beliefs of most Peruvians regarding their multilingual, multicultural reality. Some attempts to uncover these opinions include methods such as interviews and surveys; however, given that these events are situated in and of themselves, they often result in results that are either performances for the researcher (Back, 2015) or filtered through the researcher’s lens of questions and prompts. To gain a more accurate perspective on Peruvian views of multilingualism and multiculturalism, it is important to have access to discourses that occur without researcher involvement. In this case, the virtual environments of the so-called Web 2.0, 1 such as Twitter and Facebook, offer researchers an opportunity to witness the production and negotiation of beliefs around a variety of themes, including those dealing with language and culture. These spaces are rich for the analysis of numerous opinions, ideologies, and beliefs unmediated by external influence. For that reason, analyzing the discourse of Web 2.0 participants allows us to see ideologies and beliefs of race and language that exist due to—and in spite of—the previously mentioned government initiatives. To date, there have been significant advances in the literature regarding racialized discourses on Peruvian Facebook, such as Brañez (2012 ) and Wong (2014 ), who have also contributed chapters to this book. However, there are still few studies that analyze how ideologies of race and language are constructed on Twitter, particularly in the case of languages other than English (however, see Barton & Lee, 2013 , for an important exception). Twitter is a microblog space in which participants are restricted to a certain amount of characters per tweet (previously 140, but recently increased to 280). When examining the data regarding users in Peru, we note that in 2015 there were four million Peruvian Twitter accounts, compared to 14.5 Race and Linguistic Essentialism on Peruvian Twitter","PeriodicalId":268001,"journal":{"name":"Racialization and Language","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133099066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
