Histories of Race and Racism: The Andes and Mesoamerica from Colonial Times to the Present

Histories of Race and Racism examines the experiences and representations of Andean and Mesoamerican indigenous peoples from the early colonial era to the present. Contributors to the volume—anthropologists, historians, and sociologists—compare the interplay of race and racism with class, gender, nationality, and regionalism in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Their essays shed new light on the present by describing how race and racism have mattered in particular Andean and Mesoamerican societies at specific moments in time.
