The question of normalization is important in terms of how we want to see ourselves on the big screen and the little screen. That question, as several of our crew puts forward, is, do we mean normalize brownness within white society, an action, which has a multitude of implications around assimilation and the perpetuation of a colonialism or normalized within a pro-indigenous decolonial frame where Xicanos and other Latinos take creative control of the storytelling process and make stories by us for us.
According to Dan Soza here are the top ten brown shows on Netflix:
