This interdisciplinary volume brings together a prominent group of scholars to examine Brazil's 'new racial polities'. In so doing, it offers a timely and important contribution to the study of race in Brazil and Latin America more generally. Indeed, the radical shift in the Brazilian state's discourse on race, as well the adoption of affirmative action and other policies starting in the mid-1990s, calls for a systematic analysis of these developments. With a foreword by Michael Mitchell, this book includes an introduction and conclusion written by its co-editors as well as three substantive sections.
