While our focus is on Latin America, our study considers racial and gender formations within the context of the world-system. We are interested in how a complicated history of colonization, independence, post-coloniality, and &#8220;globalization&#8221; has intersected with national economies, politics, communities, and identities. In order to get at these intersections we examine a range of texts dealing with policy, national literatures, common sense, and political struggle. Specific issues addressed include the relationship between socio-biological theories of race and Latin American notions of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=14551\" target=\"_blank\">mestizage<\/a>, discursive and material &#8220;whitening,&#8221; the myth of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=22166\" target=\"_blank\">racial democracy<\/a>, sexuality and morality, and border politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>383a.
