\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The United States<\/a> and Brazil<\/a> were the largest slave-trading societies of the New World<\/a>. The demographics of both countries reflect this shared past, but this is where comparisons end. The vast majority of the “Afro-Brazilian” population, unlike their U.S. counterparts, view themselves as neither black nor white but as mixed-race. \u00a0Legacies of Race<\/a><\/em> offers the first examination of Brazilian public opinion to understand racial identities, attitudes, and politics in this racially ambiguous context.<\/p>\n

Brazilians avoid rigid notions of racial group membership, and, in stark contrast to U.S. experience, attitudes about racial inequality, African-derived culture, and antiracism strategies are not deeply divided along racial lines.\u00a0 Bailey argues that only through dispensing with many U.S.-inspired racial assumptions can a general theory of racial attitudes become possible. Most importantly, he shows that a strict notion of racial identification in black and white cannot be assumed universal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
