Book Synopsis
Arguing that race has been the specter that has haunted many of the discussions about Latin American regional and national cultures today, Anke Birkenmaier describes Latin American anthropology as a field of knowledge that evolved dramatically in the period between the two world wars.

Trade Review
The Specter of Races is a bold, broad-reaching, and exciting exploration of cultural and literary history. Birkenmaier’s study synthesizes a large amount of primary scholarship and secondary criticism—in four languages—to produce a narrative that is clear, engaging, and compelling."" — Emily A. Maguire, Northwestern University, author of Racial Experiments in Cuban Literature and Ethnography
