A relational approach to comparisons of race and racism in the Americas and beyond
Studies of race in the Americas have been driven by explicit or implicit nation-based comparisons. This contrastive approach to comparison has enhanced our understanding of differences across national racial systems and supported challenges to racism. However, by treating specific cases as separate bounded units, notable primarily for their differences, this approach has produced blind spots, including the neglect of historical connections, paral…
Whose merit, which redistribution? Elites, taxes, and transfers in Brazil and South Africa
Scholarship often treats two dimensions of meritocracy as interchangeable: if success is due to hard work, poverty must be due to a lack of effort. We contrast elites’ perceptions about their own success with their perceptions about the lack of success of others. We posit that these two dimensions—merit of self and merit of others—are distinct, with different implications for redistributive preferences, and varying salience across national contex…
How Race Matters for Elites' Views on Redistribution
Elites are increasingly visible in academic and political discourse owing to their disproportionate power in shaping policy. For the most part, however, elites have been viewed in race-blind terms. In this paper, we advance a racialized perspective on elite studies by highlighting three salient ways that race matters for elite views on inequality and redistribution. First, we focus on elites as racialized actors whose racial identities impact the…
Everyday Conversations About Economic Inequality
High and rising levels of economic inequality come at a tremendous cost to societies, yet the public is often hesitant to confront these inequalities. Prior research has attempted to explain this paradox, pointing to how it is driven by individuals' misperceptions of the extent of inequality, broader narratives that justify inequality, and distrust in government intervention and redistribution. These beliefs and attitudes are not simply a reflect…
Seeing Race Like a State
A growing body of literature has focused on how different states continuously "make race" by legitimizing certain racial categories while invisibilizing others. Much less has been written on the actual processes of transforming race into a bureaucratic category when implementing antiracist public policies. This article focuses on the recent use of verification commissions to validate the racial self-identification of potential beneficiaries of ra…
Co-producing ethnoracial categories
The growing literature that analyzes the production of ethnoracial categories has focused primarily on the role of nation-states, social movements, and transnational trends. The internal institutional debates that influence these processes have received limited attention, and the role of census-takers in particular remains largely unexplored. Drawing from in-depth interviews with 54 census-takers in the 2017 Peruvian National Census, this paper a…
Economic and cultural determinants of elite attitudes toward redistribution
Previous studies have posited that elites are willing to advance the redistribution of income and social goods when the negative effects of inequality, such as crime and conflict, threaten their own interests. Although elites acknowledge these negative effects, their support for redistributive policies remains low throughout the Global South. We address this paradox using a multi-method research design. Drawing on 56 in-depth interviews with Braz…
Coproduciendo Categorías étnico-raciales
La creciente literatura que analiza la producción de categorías étnico-raciales se ha centrado principalmente en el papel de los estados-nación, los movimientos sociales y las tendencias transnacionales. Los debates institucionales internos que influyen en estos procesos han recibido una atención limitada, y el papel de los empadronadores en particular permanece en gran parte inexplorado. Basado en las entrevistas a profundidad a cincuenta y cuat…
Similar gaps, different paths? Comparing racial inequalities among BA holders in Brazil and the United States
In this article, we compare how racial inequalities are shaped by school-to-work transitions among bachelor’s degree (BA) holders in Brazil and the United States. Our findings reveal how distinct paths linking higher education and the job market can drive similar patterns of Black–White earnings gaps. While the distribution across fields of study matters more for racial earnings inequality in Brazil, differential returns to the same field and occ…
Seeing whites
This paper analyses black Brazilians' narratives about seeing whites, defining white privilege, and interacting with whites and white privilege. We find that black Brazilians identify whites in three interrelated ways: (i) as skin colour; (ii) as the privileged class; and (iii) as those who racially discriminate against them. Interviewees acknowledge that white privilege exists in Brazil, but middle-class and working-class respondents report diff…
Getting Respect
Racism is a common occurrence for members of marginalized groups around the world. This book illuminates their experiences and responses to stigmatization and discrimination by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel. The book delves into what kinds of stigmatizing or discriminatory incidents individuals encounter in each country, how they respond to these occurrences, and what they view as t…
Technocrats' Compromises
This article focuses on census policy-making by analysing the decision-making processes behind the apparent stability of Brazilian racial categories within a context of multiple changes in racial politics and policies over the last four decades (1970-2010). Empirically, we rely on archival material, survey and census data, as well as key informant interviews with senior technocrats from the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (Brazili…
Comparing Ideologies of Racial Mixing in Latin America
By the end of the twentieth century, with the rise of multicultural discourses and identity politics, Latin American ideologies of racial mixture had become increasingly denounced as myths that conceal (and thus support) the reproduction of racial inequalities. These studies have largely been guided by comparisons between countries with widespread racial mixing (usually Brazil, Mexico or Colombia) and countries in which it was less encouraged and…

From the study of racism to destigmatization and the transformation of group boundaries

After racial democracy
This article uses the boundaries theoretical framework to analyse Brazilian race relations. The author argues that the apparent paradox of race relations in Brazil and in parts of Latin America, i.e. the persistency of racial inequality without blatant racial conflict, can be better understood as the coexistence of strong social boundaries and weak symbolic boundaries between racial categories. Not only does the boundaries literature allow us to …
Processes and national dilemmas
In this article, we explore the impact of the global cultural transformation that reconciles the values of equality and difference as parameters of the good life. We argue that the idea that social justice incorporates both the value of equality and the value of difference expresses a broad cultural transformation, one that poses new challenges society has to confront to deal with the social distribution issue. Moreover, we sustain that while thi…
Interpretações e reações à estigmatização étnico-racial
Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de um projeto sobre narrativas e respostas à estigmatização e à discriminação de Negros Brasileiros, Afro-Americanos, e Mizrahim, Etíopes e Palestinos cidadãos de Israel. A comparação entre Brasil, Estados Unidos e Israel mostra como processos históricos e estruturas socioeconômicas distintas se relacionam com diferentes repertórios culturais, formando dinâmicas de grupos (groupness) diferenciadas. Juntos tais…
"Brazilian People" in the Eyes of Elites
We analyze the cultural repertoires mobilized by elites to describe "Brazilian people." We rely on survey and in-depth interview data to capture how political, bureaucratic and business elites in Brazil frame poverty and inequality. Our data suggest that elites acknowledge poverty as a structural problem for the State to solve, but remain skeptical on the odds of actual solutions, indicating fatalistic perceptions that categorize the Brazilian po…
O paradoxo da mistura
Um elemento central, mas pouco discutido, no debate sobre relações raciais no país é a perspectiva dos brasileiros pardos - a identificação etno-racial que mais cresceu nos últimos censos. historicamente os pardos compartilham uma situação socioeconômica parecida com a dos pretos, mas identificam de maneira sistemática menos discriminação racial do que esse grupo. O foco sobre as percepções dos pardos permite explorar duas questões centrais das r…
Unexpected Narratives from Multicultural Policies
This paper investigates the ways in which the global spread of multicultural policies affects local ideas about race, inequality and diversity as evident in affirmative action policies in Brazilian universities. Our interviews with university administrators and university students indicate that, when implemented in Brazil, affirmative action acquired new meanings and predominantly class-based justifications. Such a transformation is illustrated b…
The multiple dimensions of racial mixture in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The notion that racial mixture is a central feature of Latin American societies has been interpreted in different, if not strictly opposite, ways. On the one hand, scholars have presented it as evidence of weaker racial boundaries. On the other, it has been denounced as an expression of the illusion of harmonic racial relations. Relying on 160 interviews with black Brazilians, we argue that the valorization of racial mixture is an important respo…
Folk conceptualizations of racism and antiracism in Brazil and South Africa
Folk conceptualizations of racism can be defined as ordinary people's understandings of the sources and persistence of racism. They function as equalization strategies - by denying the legitimacy of racism - and guide beliefs regarding antiracism strategies. I explore folk explanations of racism among black professionals in Brazil and South Africa by drawing on sixty interviews with members of these groups. In Brazil, racism is understood as an h…
Perceptions of Racial Discrimination among Black Professionals in Rio De Janeiro
Most Brazilians believe that racial and socioeconomic inequalities tend to overlap—in other words, blacks are poorer because they have less education and worse jobs. In the past few years, however, several quantitative studies have presented an interesting puzzle: racial inequalities are strongest among those at the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy. This article explores the "elitist profile" of racial discrimination through eighty in-depth int…
Ações afirmativas no Brasil e na África do Sul
Neste artigo, comparo as políticas de ações afirmativas no ensino superior no Brasil e na África do Sul. Algumas perguntas orientam essa comparação: por que países com histórias e estruturas raciais completamente diferentes estão implementando políticas semelhantes para lidar com a desigualdade entre as raças? Mais especificamente, por que o Brasil, um país de fronteiras raciais menos rígidas do que a África do Sul, implantou uma forma mais radic…
