Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Racism in a Racial Democracy, France Winddance Twine asks why Brazilians, particularly AfroBrazilians, continue to have faith in Brazil's 'racial democracy' in the face of pervasive racism in all spheres of Brazilian life. Through a detailed ethnography, Twine provides a cultural analysis of the everyday discursive and material practices that sustain and naturalize white supremacy.This is the first ethnographic study of racism in southeastern Brazil to place the practices of upwardly mobile AfroBrazilians at the center of analysis. Based on extensive field research and more than fifty life histories with Afro and EuroBrazilians, this book analyzes how Brazilians conceptualize and respond to racial disparities. Twine illuminates the obstacles Brazilian activists face when attempting to generate grassroots support for an antiracist movement among the majority of working class Brazilians. Anyone interested in racism and antiracism in Latin America will find this book compelling.
