About this book
Reviews
“A central focus of the volume is to expose the contemporary forces of state co-optation of corporatism that black social movements face. … This rich collection will be of great value to scholars of Afro-mobilization and makes an important intervention in the social movement literature. It is perfect for advanced coursework and study in the areas of Latin American social movements and identity politics.” (Keri Vacanti Brondo, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, 2016)
"A landmark study that provides a model for future research in a historically marginalized field. Highly recommended." - CHOICE
"This book is a critical intervention in current history, charting the consequences of advancing neoliberalism for Latin American identity politics and documenting the transition from mestizaje, or cultural and 'racial' mixing, to the emergence of multiculturalism in the region's national imaginaries, state structures, and forms of governmentality. The editor and contributors locate the struggles of Afrodescendant groups for rights and recognition in sophisticated approaches that simultaneously consider the material and ideological as well as the national, regional, and international levels of cause and consequence. And they do so with a clear vision and without romanticizing the new ostensibly inclusive multicultural discourses. As such, this book provides a crucial guide to the current scene." - Kevin A. Yelvington, University of South Florida, USA, editor of Afro-Atlantic Dialogues: Anthropology in the Diaspora
