Durable Ethnicity
Despite the common perception that most persons of Mexican origin in the United States are undocumented immigrants or the young children of immigrants, the majority are citizens and have been living in the United States for three or more generations. On many dimensions of integration, this group initially makes strides on education, English language use, socioeconomic status, intermarriage, residential segregation, and political participation, bu…
Skin Color and Colorism
We examine a vast, interdisciplinary, and increasingly global literature concerning skin color and colorism, which are related to status throughout the world. The vast majority of research has investigated Western societies, where color and colorism have been closely related to race and racism. In Latin America, the two sets of concepts have particularly overlapped. In the rest of the world, particularly in Asia, color and colorism have also been…
Multiple measures of ethnoracial classification in Latin America
Today, most Latin American countries have begun to recognize ethnoracial distinctions, disadvantages and discrimination and they have begun to collect ethnoracial data, in what has been called the
Pigmentocracies
Pigmentocracies--the fruit of the multiyear Project on Ethnicity Race in Latin America (PERLA)--is a richly revealing analysis of contemporary attitudes toward ethnicity race in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, four of Latin America's most populous nations. Based on extensive, original sociological anthropological data generated by PERLA, this landmark study analyzes ethnoracial classification, inequality, discrimination, as well as public opinion…
Robert J. Cottrol. The Long, Lingering Shadow
In The Long, Lingering Shadow, Robert J. Cottrol provides an impressive synthesis of major laws and legislation relating to race in the Americas writ hemispherically. In only 300 pages of text, he manages to cover, in broad brushstrokes, the major features of the longue durée of racial history, with its enormous national diversity. In contrast to the considerable literature on law and race in the United States, there has been relatively little wr…

Race Mixture
In this article, we examine a large, interdisciplinary, and somewhat scattered literature, all of which falls under the umbrella term race mixture. We highlight important analytical distinctions that need to be taken into account when addressing the related, but separate, social phenomena of intermarriage, miscegenation, multiracial identity, multiracial social movements, and race-mixture ideologies. In doing so, we stress a social constructivist…

Assimilation and Gender in Naming
This article examines the naming practices of Hispanic parents who gave birth to children in Los Angeles County in 1995. The authors find that greater exposure to U.S. culture increases the chances of naming a child in English. However, they find that by giving children English names that are translatable into Spanish, U.S.‐born Hispanic parents are able simultaneously to assimilate while maintaining a connection to their ethnic origins. In addit…
Race and Ethnicity and Latin America's United Nations Millennium Development Goals
Latin America's problems of underdevelopment most adversely affect the region's indigenous, black and mulatto citizens. This paper argues that Latin American governments should thus incorporate race and ethnicity in their Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which seek to reduce social exclusion in the region by 2015. However, most Latin American countries do not collect race and ethnic data or do so inappropriately and thus there is an urgent ne…
Multiracial versus Collective Black Categories
Current census debates in Brazil surrounding Brazilian race categories center on two contrasting proposals: the adoption of the multiracial moreno term vs. the use of the collective black classification negro. Those proposing the former base their argument on the right to self-classify according to one’s own sense of identity. Proponents of the negro category contend that it would be most efficient for redressing racial discrimination. We examine…
US Foundations and Racial Reasoning in Brazil
This article examines the role played by US foundations in shaping the academic field of race relations and a black social movement in Brazil. It takes issue with Pierre Bourdieu and Loïc Wacquant's assertion that US foundations use their power to impose a US model on understanding race in Brazil. Their analysis exaggerates the power of US foundations in Brazil, fails to understand how programming decisions are made within the foundations, greatl…
Racial ambiguity among the Brazilian population
I investigate the extent to which interviewers and respondents in a 1995 national survey consistently classify race in Brazil, overall and in particular contexts. Overall, classification as white, brown or black is consistent 79 per cent of the time. However, persons at the light end of the colour continuum tend to be consistently classified, whereas ambiguity is greater for those at the darker end. Based on statistical estimation, the findings a…

Does it matter who answers the race question? Racial classification and income inequality in Brazil
Previous studies ofracial inequality have relied on official statistics that presumably use self-classification of race. Using novel data from a 1995 national survey in Brazil, we find that the estimates of racial income inequality based on self-classification are lower than those based on interviewer classification. After human capital and labor market controls, whites earn 26% more than browns with interviewer classification but earn only 17% m…

Phenotype and Schooling among Mexican Americans
The study presented here examined the effect of phenotype (both skin color and physical features) on schooling attainment among Mexican Americans with data from the 1979 National Chicano Survey. It found that the lightest skin-toned and most European-looking quarter of the Mexican American population had about 1.5 more years of schooling than the darker and more Indian-looking majority. Differences in schooling by phenotype persisted with and wit…

Structural Sources of Socioeconomic Segregation in Brazilian Metropolitan Areas
This article evaluates the impact of industrialization and urbanization on residential segregation by income among Brazilian metropolitan areas. Using data from the 1980 census of Brazil, the author finds that more-industrialized areas have lower segregation because they have lower income inequality. However, urbanization, particularly population size, explains most of the variation in segregation among metropolitan areas. The conclusion is that …

Industrialization and Racial Inequality in Employment
Levels of industrialization and other related factors such as educational level have influenced patterns of racial inequality in occupations in 74 large metropolitan areas in Brazil. Data were obtained from the 1980 census and special tabulations of the census for large cities. Blacks and Browns were grouped into a single non-White racial category. Lieberson and Fossets were the source of a scale used to measure occupational inequality. the highe…
Racial Distance and Region in Brazil
Interracial marriage is common in Brazil today despite an overall preference for racial endogamy. Fully one-fifth of all Brazilian unions in 1980 were racially exogenous (Silva 1987), although only a small portion of those marriages involved persons of widely differing colors. Indeed, 93 percent of interracial unions in 1980 were between whites and browns ( pardos —persons of mixed race or mulattos) or between browns and blacks; only the remainin…

Residential Segregation by Skin Color in Brazil
I examine residential segregation by skin color in 35 of the largest metropolitan areas in Brazil, using census tract data from the 1980 Brazilian census. Residential dissimilarity among whites, mulattoes (browns) and blacks is only moderate by U.S. standards. White-black dissimilarity is the highest, followed by brown-black and then white-brown dissimilarity. Residential segregation within income groups is lowest for the low income groups and in…

Undocumented Migration to the United States
As the number of immigrants to the United States has risen over the past 20 years and as their national origins have shifted to Third World countries the attention of the public and of policymakers has increasingly focused on the costs rather than the benefits associated with the arrival of newcomers. After a brief examination of the size of the undocumented population in the United States--most of whom are Mexican in origin--the article examines…

Who Gets Formal Sector Jobs
This study examines the extent to which social factors influence entry into formal or informal sector employment in Brazil. Using data from the 1980 Brazilian Census, this research shows that low education and being female are the primary characteristics determining participation in the formal sector. Although being female is strongly and positively related to participation in the informal sector market, it is women with the lowest levels of scho…
