Produktbeschreibung

"This excellent and necessary collection brings together some of the most important scholarship on race in colonial Latin America. Importantly, the contributors do not assume racial and ethnic identities to be static, nor do they take hybridity as a given. Rather, they examine the social identities that emerged from 'contact points' between institutions and individuals."--Pete Sigal, author of "From Moon Goddesses to Virgins: The Colonization of Yucatecan Maya Sexual Desire"
