“…I Alpha and MR re-join the 1970s New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) created by UNESCO shortly after the darker "world revolution" of 1968 (Elbaum, 2006), which resurges in the 1990s by the transmodern decolonial Zapatista Revolution in Chiapas, in Mexico (Grosfoguel, 2005;McCaughey & Ayers, 2013). Alpha mobilizes a transnational strategy of development-driven social responsibility, which renews the whitening and counterrevolutionary face of AD to co-construct public policies in emerging countries that respond to the threatening fall of Northern hegemony in information communication (Thussu, 2015) and the equally threatening rise of reverse discrimination in the South and North (Dawson, 2007). In Brazil, the telecommunications-media-education complex appropriates counter-hegemonic languages mobilized by bottom-up neoliberalism (Cox & Nilsen, 2014) and by moderate or radical leftist governments in Latin America (Gago, 2017) to reaffirm the oligarchic-racial populist face of this US-led strategic whitening sector that we internalize (Frank, 2002).…”
