| Sumario: | Students of American history know of the law's critical role in systematizing a racial hierarchy in the United States. Showing that this history is best appreciated in a comparative perspective, this book looks at the parallel legal histories of race relations in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America. In this book, the author takes the reader on a journey from the origins of New World slavery in colonial Latin America to twenty-first-century debates and litigation over affirmative action in Brazil and the United States, as well as contemporary struggles against racial discrimination and Afro-Latin invisibility in the Spanish-speaking nations of the hemisphere. |
