Cultural Politics of Race and Ethnicity Colonial legacy Cultural Politics of Race and Ethnicity Colonial legacy? Should we talk about it? Week 8

What are your impressions of Peter Winn’s chapter? Can we compare it to our own experience? Why is race such a tricky topic? Do you find yourself able to talk about race in an appropriate and constructive way, or do you tend to avoid the subject? How do you think having a black president has affected the national “conversation” on race?

African descendant citizens: - 30 % of Latin America’s population - More than 50% of the poor

Casta - Limpieza de sangre (Spain – Jewish or Muslim) Post-Conquest period Degree of acculturation to Hispanic culture (proportion of Spanish blood) Gente de razón (Hispanics) Gente sin razón (non-acculturated natives) Porous; you can even buy it! How does it relate to economic status? Whitening

Brazil Gilberto Freyre and the idea of racial democracy

Human Development Index (HDI) ranking: Afro-Brazil: 101st White Brazil: 46th Brazil: 69th

Afro-Brazil: - 48 % of the population (80 million) … But only 20% of GDP Unemployment is 50% higher Blacks who are employed earn less than half of what whites earn 78%, live below the poverty line, compared to 40% of whites

Afro-Colombians - 26% of the population - 75% of the poor - Earn 34% less than their non-black counterparts 1993 Census: 1.5 % identified as black

DEBATE # 2 Is race irrelevant? Is there a racial democracy? Is it good or bad? Haiti and Dominican Republic Should we talk about it? Or is it stimulating racism? Racial categories Can denial be a form of reinforcing racism? Was slavery worse in Brazil? Are we using U.S. categories? Can we make such comparisons? Racial democracy? Can we compare fear? If we don’t talk about the problem, does it cease to exist? Late abolition in Brazil Race as human creation
