i'm getting worse at this....

sorry - i know it's past midnight in chicago and thus technically the 14th, not the 13th, but here it is anyways. and cheating a bit again because it's the book i finished today for seminar. but it's actually really really interesting and a very well written history.
George Reid Andrews Blacks and Whites in Sao Paulo Brazil, 1888-1988.


debunking the myth of racial democracy. investigating social, economic, religious, political racism in brazil from emancipation to its centennial and destroying theories that continued inequalities are based solely on the remnants of slavery. intriguing, concise, to the point, and very well documented in a book that is both historical and anthropological. very very cool. enjoy!
