For many years the study of “race” relations was dominated by paradigms\u2014of assimilationism and multiculturalism\u2014which highlighted difference and division (as a problem, or a virtue). In more recent years the idea of racial and cultural mixing\u2014creolization or hybridization\u2014has become an important concept in ethnic and racial studies. The starting point of this article is the observation that the idea of racial and cultural mixture\u2014hybridity or mesti\u00e7agem<\/em>\u2014was a key ideological feature of Portuguese colonialism in its last decades. If hybridity is not therefore a new discourse in Portugal, what is the place for it today and what kind of hybridity is being referred to? What might the Portuguese case tell us about discourses of hybridity more generally? The article explores these questions through a combined visual and linguistic analysis of the lifestyle magazine Afro<\/em> as a site where contemporary discourses about “race” intertwine.<\/p>\n
