This volume radically reinterprets Freyre’s Luso-tropicalist arguments and critically engages with the historical complexity of racial concepts and practices in the Portuguese-speaking world. Encompassing Brazil as well as Portuguese-speaking societies in Africa, Asia, and even Portugal itself, it places an interdisciplinary group of scholars in conversation to challenge the conventional understanding of twentieth-century racialization, proffering new insights into such controversial topics as human plasticity, racial amalgamation, and the tropes and proxies of whiteness UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781789201147 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781789201147 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781789201147/original ER -
