Kwame Dixon breaks new ground in this study by examining how Black politics, both cultural and formal, have been articulated in Brazil and the ways in which the state responds to Afro-Brazilian demands for equality. Using Salvador, Bahia as a case study, Dixon unpacks how Afro-Brazilians there reconfigure and challenge notions of citizenship, race, gender, territory, belonging, and national identity.

Com base em 15 anos de pesquisa na Bahia, no Rio, no Suriname e na Holanda, Livio Sansone indaga sobre as formas específicas que "raça" e etnicidade assumem no Brasil e no resto da América Latina. Ele compara as concepções latino-americanas de "raça" com as concepções dominantes nas ciências sociais, centradas em contextos determinados por identidades branco-negro claramente definidas, formuladas na base da situação dos Estados Unidos e da Europa do Noroeste. Sansone sugere que o estudo de noções de identidade e cultura mais complexas e até "ambíguas", certamente contribui para uma compreensão mais universal das tensões etno-raciais e de por que o pensamento racial continua tão forte. Ele também investiga os efeitos da globalização sobre as diferentes construções da noção de raça.
