Using the nationally representative Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra por Domic\u00edlio (PNAD) data from 1982 and 1987 to 2007, this study investigates educational inequalities between white, <em>pardo<\/em> (mixed-race), and black Brazilians over the 25-year period. Although the educational advantage of whites persisted during this period, I find that the significance of race as it relates to education changed. By 2007, those identified as blacks and <em>pardos<\/em> became more similar in their schooling levels, whereas in the past, blacks had greater disadvantages. I test two possible explanations for this shift: <strong>structural changes and shifts in racial classification.<\/strong> I find evidence for both. I discuss the findings in light of the recent race-based affirmative action policies being implemented in Brazilian universities.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.springerlink.com\/content\/4n33x501474l8647\/fulltext.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Educational Inequality by Race in Brazil, 1982\u20132007: Structural Changes and Shifts in Racial Classification Demography Volume 49, Number 1 (February 2012) pages 337-358 DOI: 10.1007\/s13524-011-0084-6 Leticia J.
