Race and Classification: The Case of Mexican America de Ilona Katzew

Race and Classification: The Case of Mexican America

Editat de Ilona Katzew, Susan Deans-Smith
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 iul 2009
This innovative and provocative volume focuses on the historical development of racial thinking and imagining in Mexico and the southwestern United States over a period of almost five centuries, from the earliest decades of Spanish colonial rule and the birth of a multiracial colonial population, to the present. The distinguished contributors to the volume bring into dialogue sophisticated new scholarship from an impressive range of disciplines, including social and cultural history, art history, legal studies, and performance art. The essays provide an engaging and original framework for understanding the development of racial thinking and classification in the region that was once New Spain and also shed new light on the history of the shifting ties between Mexico and the United States and the transnational condition of Latinos in the US today.

Recenzii

"The wide range if topics found in this collection—including a highly readable discussion of Chicano film by Adriana Katzew and an interview with the photographer and performance artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena—engages the reader, as every chapter addresses a new subject with a distinct, invigorating, analytical approach."—Nicole von Germeten, LATIN AMERICAN RESEARCH REVIEW

"This engaging collection offers some of the best recent scholarship on race and ethnicity in Mexico and Mexican America . . . [T]his volume is extremely relevant as the present political and social debates over race and classification in the Unites States and Mexico intensify."—Martina Will de Chaparro, Hispanic American Historical Review

"I think this book will be highly valued by scholars and students of Mexico and of race in Latin America. Its historical depth and interdisciplinary, transnational approach make it a significant contribution."—Peter Wade, Journal of Latin American Studies

"Ilona Katzew and Susan Deans-Smith have put together a very impressive collection of essays tightly focused around the endlessly interesting question of race and classification, all the more valuable for a chronological and geographical scope unmatched by any other volume."—Andres Resendez, University of California, Davis

"This useful and enlightening book covers an historical and geographic arc that can only be covered in an edited volume. The combination of original essays on race and caste in the colonial period and the Mexican experience in the US is unique, as is the dialogue between visually oriented essays and social-historical analysis. Race and Classification is at once an original contribution to the field and a careful synthesis of a widely dispersed literature."—Claudio Lomnitz, Columbia University
