Pigmentocracies

Edward Telles

The fruit of the multiyear Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America (PERLA)--this is a richly revealing analysis of contemporary attitudes toward ethnicity and race in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, four of Latin America's most populous nations. Based on extensive, original sociological and anthropological data, this book promises to contribute in significant ways to policymaking and public opinion in Latin America. Telles, PERLA's principal investigator, explains that profound historical and political forces, including multiculturalism, have helped to shape the formation of ethnic identities and the nature of social relations within and across nations.
