Focusing on race and racism in five countries over several centuries, the contributors address themes such as education, cultural nationalism, and definitions of mestizaje and hybridity, enabling readers to see how similar concerns played out in different places and times.”—\u003cb\u003eMary Roldán\u003c\/b\u003e, author of\u003ci\u003e Blood and Fire: \u003c\/i\u003eLa Violencia\u003ci\u003e in Antioquia, Colombia, 1946–1953\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This valuable collection delves into issues of racism and indigenous identity at a regional level, in a way that no other book does. Focusing on Mesoamerica and the Andes, where most indigenous Latin Americans live, well-known specialists in their fields offer interesting, up-to-date scholarship on the discrimination that indigenous peoples have suffered from the colonial period to the present.”—\u003cb\u003eErick D.

Ultimately, this volume represents a very valuable collection of cutting-edge research into the permutations of race and racism throughout the history of Latin America.” -- Robert C. Schwaller * Ethnohistories *\u003cbr\u003e“This volume’s strength lies in its detailed and, in many cases, very local analysis of specific historical moments. This is less a history of race than a collection of essays about the persistence of racism, and no one reading this volume will be in any doubt about its centrality to understanding the continent’s history.”  -- Rebecca Earl * Hispanic American Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003e“This is a superior and important book, which will be widely used and cited.” -- Peter Wade * Journal of Latin American Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“A major contribution of this volume is the way in which it puts into dialogue histories of race from colonial times to the present, including current indigenous mobilizations. For this reason, it will be an excellent addition to undergraduate surveys and courses on race in Latin American history.”  -- Waskar T. Ari-Chachaki * Social History *\u003cbr\u003e“The importance of this volume is multiple. It is timely, answering a need for deeper understanding of race\/racism in the region given the growing number of violent racist incidents…Moreover, the volume brings together debates relevant to history as well as colonialism, subaltern studies, development studies, sociology, social policy and international relations.”  -- Karem Roitman * Ethnic and Racial Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“This book performs the useful service of introducing the work of many of these scholars—especially the Latin American scholars—to an English-speaking audience. It does this while also crafting a whole that is more unified, with its various parts in dialogue with one another, than is usual in an edited collection. Laura Gotkowitz should be complimented on the accomplishment.” -- Robert L.
