Blackness and Race Mixture: The Dynamics of Racial Identity in Colombia Paperback - 1995

by Peter Wade

The idea of "racial democracy" in Latin American populations has traditionally assumed that class is a more significant factor than race. But despite the emergence of a mestizo class--people who are culturally and racially mixed--there remains a complex discrimination against blacks. Drawing on extensive anthropological fieldwork, Wade shows how the concept of "blackness" and discrimination are deeply embedded in different social levels and contexts.


From the publisher

Peter Wade focuses on the "racial democracy" of Columbia--specifically the black population of the Choc province--to explore the significance of culture and class in a racially mixed population. Drawing on extensive anthropological fieldwork, he shows how the concepts of "blackness" and discrimination are deeply embedded in different social levels and contexts--from region to neighborhood, and from politics and economics to housing, marriage, music, and personal identity.

First line

My connection with Colombia started in the Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena, the slave-trading center of colonial New Granada.

From the rear cover

Peter Wade focuses on the 'racial democracy' of Colombia-- specifically the black population of the Choco province--to explore the significance of culture and class in a racially mixed population.
