Negras in Brazil

Re-Envisioning Black Women, Citizenship, and the Politics of Identity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

For most of the twentieth century, Brazil was widely regarded as a ""racial democracy"" - a country untainted by the scourge of racism and prejudice. This book examines the life experiences of Afro-Brazilian women, analyzing the links between race and gender and broader processes of social, economic, and political exclusion.
