A Discussion of Sanford Schram’s The Return of Ordinary Capitalism
Sanford Schram’s The Return of Ordinary Capitalism: Neoliberalism, Precarity, Occupy (Oxford University Press, 2015) is an ambitious effort to link together three important political realities of our time: the rise of new forms of neoliberal governance, the associated rise of new forms of social and economic insecurity, and the recent development of organized forms of political resistance symbolized by the figure of “Occupy.” The argument is rele…

A Black Man in the White House
An editorial error was made in the article, “A Black Man in the White House?: The Role of Racism and Patriotism in the 2008 Presidential Election” (Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 193–217
Ablackman in Thewhitehouse
Race and patriotism were recurring themes during the 2008 presidential campaign that were used to highlight differences between Barack Obama and his opponents. Yet we know little about how racism and patriotism ultimately affected support for Obama among Whites. Appeals to working-class Whites, a lot of which were thinly veiled allusions to Obama's race and perceived lack of patriotism, also figured prominently in the campaign. Accordingly, this …
Contesting Politics as Usual
The intensification of ethno-racial protest in Latin America has led to the adoption of targeted legislation for Black and indigenous populations, signaling a new moment in race politics in this region. Existing literature has failed to account for this shift either because it held that race was not salient in Latin America, or it presumed that racial hierarchy existed, but that the obstacles to Black mobilization were insurmountable. We argue th…
Race in Another America
Edward E. Telles’s Race in Another America is destined to become a classic in the study of the sociology of race in the Americas generally and Brazil in particular. The author employs state-of-the-art empirical analyses along with a rich historical and theoretical understanding of racial inequality in Brazil. The book reconciles two generations of scholarship and represents a point of departure for future studies of race in Brazil.Telles begins t…
We Didn't Cross the Color Line, the Color Line Crossed Us
We examine the interlinked migrations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, between the Dominican Republic and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and, finally, migrations from these three countries to the United States. The literature tends to draw stark differences between race and racism in the United States and the nonracial societies of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. However, althoughBlacknessis a contextual category, through analy…

By Anna Stubblefield. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2005. 216 p. $16.95. There is a tendency in political science to see identities as given and fixed.

Racial Politics in Multiethnic America
In Little Havana, Miami, a young Afro-Cuban woman went into a “Cuban” hair salon seeking to make an appointment, She politely asked in Spanish how she might make an appointment to have her hair done. The proprietor of the salon snapped back in English, “We don’t work on Black hair here—you will have to go somewhere else.” The women in the salon then went back to conversing in Spanish and the Afro-Cuban woman left dejected. These keywords were add…
Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba
This book analyzes the triumphs and failures of the Castro regime in the area of race relations. It places the Cuban revolution in a comparative and international framework and challenges arguments that the regime eliminated racial inequality or that it was profoundly racist. Through interviews, historical materials, and survey research, it provides a balanced view. The book maintains that Cuba has not been a racial democracy as some have argued.…
Racial politics in post-revolutionary Cuba
Using interviews, as well as survey and archival research, this book analyzes race relations under the Castro regime and places the Cuban revolution in a comparative and international framework. In doing so, Sawyer challenges other scholarly arguments either that the regime has eliminated racial inequality or that it has been profoundly racist."--Jacket
Race” to the Future
The year is 2015, and across Latin America and the Spanish Caribbean there are social movements demanding racial justice as political parties jockey to incorporate candidates of African and indigenous descent. Textbooks are being rewritten to highlight the contributions and unique experiences of indigenous and black Latin Americans and affirmative action programs are being debated and implemented. W. E. B. DuBois's famous line, “The problem of th…
Du Bois's Double Consciousness versus Latin American Exceptionalism
It has been tempting for observers to use Du Bois's ideas of double consciousness to contrast U.S. race relations from those in Brazil and Cuba. In those cases, Du Bois's theory becomes a paradigma
Racial Democracy in the Americas
The "racial democracy" (Iberian exceptionalism) thesis claims that racial prejudice in Latin America is not only lower than that found in the United States but is essentially absent altogether. We explored the plausibility of this thesis by the use of both explicit and implicit prejudice measures among Blacks and Whites from the United States and three Caribbean nations. In general, the results showed significant racial prejudice against Blacks a…
Cuban Exceptionalism
This paper examined the interface between "racial" and national identity from the perspective of two competing theoretical frameworks: the ideological asymmetry hypothesis and the thesis of Iberian Exceptionalism. In contrast to previous results found in the United States and Israel, use of survey data from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba showed some support for both theoretical positions. Consistent with the asymmetry thesis, there…
Contentious Pluralism
What do peasants in eighteenth-century England, African Americans in Reconstruction-era Virginia, mothers in Nicaragua and Argentina, and contemporary transnational activists have to do with one another? They all illustrate instances where marginalized groups challenge a lack of democracy or the limitations of existing democracy. Democracy is both a process and a product of struggles against power. Both the social capital literature and literatur…

Inclusionary Discrimination
This study explored the nature of racial hierarchy and the connection between racial identity and Dominican patriotism using a questionnaire given to an in situ sample in the Dominican Republic. The analyses compared the contradictory expectations of the “racial democracy” (or “Iberian exceptionalism”) thesis and social dominance theory. Results showed that despite the very high level of racial intermarriage in the Dominican Republic, there was s…
