Comparative racial politics in Latin America
xvii, 357 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Latin America has a rich and complex social history marked by slavery, colonialism, dictatorships, rebellions, social movements and revolutions. Comparative Racial Politics in Latin America explores the dynamic interplay between racial politics and hegemonic power in the region. It investigates the fluid intersection of social power and racial politics and their impact on the region's histories, politics, identities and cultures. Organized thematically with in-depth country case studies and a historical overview of Afro-Latin politics, the volume provides a range of perspectives on Black politics and cutting-edge analyses of Afro-descendant peoples in the region. Regional coverage includes Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti and more. Topics discussed include Afro-Civil Society, anti-discrimination criminal law, legal sanctions, racial identity, racial inequality and labor markets, recent Black electoral participation, Black feminism thought and praxis, comparative Afro-women social movements, the intersection of gender, race and class, immigration and migration, citizenship and the struggle for human rights. Recognized experts in different disciplinary fields address the depth and complexity of these issues. Comparative Racial Politics in Latin America contributes to, and builds on the study of Black politics in Latin America.
