In this article, we ask whether the Brazilian state\u2019s policy turnabout has affected racial subjectivities on the ground, specifically toward mirroring the categories used by the state. To answer, we conceptualize race as multidimensional and leverage two of its dimensions\u2014lay identification and government classification (via open-ended and closed-ended questions, respectively)\u2014to introduce a new metric of state race-making: a comparison of the extent of alignment between lay and government dimensions across time. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Logistic_regression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Logistic regression<\/a> on large-sample survey data from before the policy turn (1995) and well after its diffusion (2008) reveals an increased use of state categories as respondents\u2019 lay identification in the direction of matching respondents\u2019 government classification. We conclude that the Brazilian state is making race but not from scratch nor in ways that are fully intended.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sociologicalscience.com\/download\/vol-5\/november\/SocSci_v5_722to751.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, we ask whether the Brazilian state\u2019s policy turnabout has affected racial subjectivities on the ground, specifically toward mirroring the categories used by the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,83,21,33,8,394],"tags":[23154,8083,17327,199],"class_list":["post-59069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-brazil","category-latincarib","category-census","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","tag-fabricio-m-fialho","tag-mara-loveman","tag-sociological-science","tag-stanley-r-bailey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59069"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59070,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59069\/revisions\/59070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
