Reviews

“In assembling this collection of essays, Michael Hanchard moves us beyond the traditional academic boundaries to underscore the relationship between theories and practices in Brazilian race relations.”—Anani Dzidzienyo, Brown University

“This volume is the most important collection of essays on contemporary Brazilian racial politics available to English readers since Pierre-Michel Fontaine’s Race, Class, and Power in Brazil. Specialists and general readers alike will profit from the scholarly essays and the testimonials from veteran Brazilian activists.”—Robert Anderson, North Carolina A&T State University
