I examine recent deployments of mixture and racial democracy as re-articulations of historically hegemonic versions of these ideologies that minimize the problem of racism, deny its systemic nature, and deem ethno-racial policies as threats to achieving nonracial belonging and citizenship. Drawing on scholarship on race and racism from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\" target=\"_blank\">United States<\/a>, Brazil, and elsewhere in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Latin_America\" target=\"_blank\">Latin America<\/a>, I delineate a relational framework for analyzing the post-racial and apply this framework to three examples of post-racial ideology. Through these examples, I illustrate the problematic logics shaping aggressive investments in the post-racial as future promise to the detriment of addressing the unequal effects racial difference presents for inclusion\/exclusion today. The article asserts the necessity of mounting transnational and interdisciplinary theoretical, epistemological, and practical strategies to challenge the ways post-racial ideologies rearticulate racial hierarchies, maintain racial subordination, and delimit social change.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/crs.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2014\/01\/30\/0896920513508663.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confounding Anti-racism: Mixture, Racial Democracy, and Post-racial Politics in Brazil Critical Sociology July 2016, Volume 42, Numbers 4-5 pages 495-513 DOI: 10.1177\/0896920513508663 Alexandre Emboaba Da Costa, Assistant Professor, Theoretical, Cultural and International Studies in Education University of Alberta, Canada In this article, I analyze the particularity of post-racial ideology in Brazil.
