Nem Preto Nem Branco, Muito Pelo Contrário by Lilia Moritz Schwarcz
A concise, well-researched study that challenges the simplistic black/white racial binary in Brazil, showing how racial identity is fluid and produced by historical, social and political processes; the book traces the legacy of colonization and mestiçagem, critiques the myth of racial democracy, and examines how color, class, gender and state policy shape everyday experiences of inequality, discrimination and resistance, as individuals and groups negotiate and instrumentalize racial categories in contemporary Brazilian society.
