As the popular myth of racial equality in Brazil crumbles beneath the weight of current grassroots politics, how will the country redefine itself as a multiethnic nation? Brazil\u2019s New Racial Politics<\/em> captures the myriad questions and problems unleashed by a growing awareness of the ways racism structures Brazilian society.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The authors bridge the gap between scholarship and activism as they tackle issues ranging from white privilege to black power, from government policy to popular advocacy, and from historical injustices to recent victories. The result is a rich exploration of the conflicting social realities characterizing Brazil today, as well as their far-reaching political implications.<\/p>\n
