Land of the Cosmic Race: Race Mixture, Racism, and Blackness in Mexico
Sue, Christina A. (Assistant Professor of Sociology, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Colorado, Boulder)
Land of the Cosmic Race is a richly-detailed ethnographic account of the powerful role that race and color play in organizing the lives and thoughts of ordinary Mexicans. It presents a previously untold story of how individuals in contemporary urban Mexico construct their identities, attitudes, and practices in the context of a dominant national belief system that promotes race mixture, asserts the absence of racism in the country, but marginalizesblackness.
