Full Description
Latin America's long history of showing how racism can co-exist with racial mixture and conviviality offers useful ammunition for strengthening anti-racist stances. This volume asks whether cultural production has a particular role to play within discourses and practices of anti-racism in Latin America and the Caribbean. The contributors analyse music, performance, education, language, film and art in diverse national contexts across the region. The book also places LatinAmerican and Caribbean racial formations within a broader global context.It shows that the region provides valuable opportunitiesfor thinking about anti-racism, notleast when recent political eventsworldwide have shown that, far from a 'post-racial' age, we are living in an era ofintensified racist expression and racial injustice.
