Based on extensive ethnographic work in the country and informed by more than eighty interviews with Peruvians of African descent, this ground breaking study explains how ideas of race, colour, and \u003cem\u003emestizaje\u003c\/em\u003e in Peru differ greatly from those held in other Latin American nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The conclusion that Tanya Maria Golash-Boza draws from her rigourous inquiry is that Peruvians of African descent give meaning to blackness without always referencing Africa, slavery, or black cultural forms. This represents a significant counterpoint to diaspora scholarship that points to the importance of slavery in defining blackness in Latin America as well as studies that place cultural and class differences at the centre of racial discourses in the region.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559252554008,"sku":"9780813044491","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/yo-soy-negro-blackness-in-peru-paperback-softback-9780813044491","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
