Racial Politics Racial Identities: Race and Racism in the Americas, Part III

“Racial Politics, Racial Identities," the third report of our "Race and Racism in the Americas" series, explores the ways oppressed and excluded groups of the Americas, principally Afro-Latinos and indigenous peoples, have responded to oppression and exclusion with political mobilization and self-affirming forms of expression. There is a broad range of politics on these pages: the "rising up" of indigenous peoples, painstaking transnational Afro-Latino coalition building and lobbying, the struggles of indigenous women both within and on behalf of their communities, and the sometimes-surprising turns of U.S. ethnic politics.
