In Brazil pervasive miscegenation and the lack of formal legal barriers to racial equality gave the appearance of its being a “racial democracy,” with a ternary system of classifying people into whites (brancos), multiracial individuals (pardos), and blacks (pretos) supporting the idea that social inequality was primarily associated with differences in class and culture rather than race. In the United States, by contrast, a binary system distinguishing blacks from whites by reference to the “one-drop rule” of African descent produced a more rigid racial hierarchy in which both legal and informal barriers operated to create socioeconomic disadvantages for blacks.   But in recent decades, Reginald Daniel argues in this comparative study, changes have taken place in both countries that have put them on “converging paths.” Brazil’s black consciousness movement stresses the binary division between brancos and negros to heighten awareness of and mobilize opposition to the real racial discrimination that exists in Brazil, while the multiracial identity movement in the U.S. works to help develop a more fluid sense of racial dynamics that was long felt to be the achievement of Brazil’s ternary system.   Against the historical background of race relations in Brazil and the U.S. that he traces in Part I of the book, including a review of earlier challenges to their respective racial orders, Daniel focuses in Part II on analyzing the new racial project on which each country has embarked, with attention to all the political possibilities and dangers they involve.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50310979485969,"sku":"CIN027103288XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346490822929,"sku":"CIN027103288XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53181221765393,"sku":"NLS9780271032887","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/027103288X.jpg?v=1750908820"},{"product_id":"race-and-the-obama-phenomenon-book-g-reginald-daniel-9781496804662","title":"Race and the Obama Phenomenon","description":"How naive or realistic is Barack Obama's vision of a more perfect American union that brings together people across racial, class, and political lines?

From his now historic race speech to his second victory speech delivered on November 7, 2012, that striving is evident. \"\"Tonight, more than two hundred years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward,\"\" stated the forty-fourth president of the United States upon securing a second term in office after a hard fought political contest. Obama borrows this rhetoric from the founding documents of the United States set forth in the U.S. Constitution and in Abraham Lincoln's \"\"Gettysburg Address.\"\" How naive or realistic is Obama's vision of a more perfect American union that brings together people across racial, class, and political lines? How can this vision of a more inclusive America be realized in a society that remains racist at its core? These essays seek answers to these complicated questions by examining the 2008 and 2012 elections as well as the events of President Obama's first term. Written by preeminent race scholars from multiple disciplines, the volume brings together competing perspectives on race, gender, and the historic significance of Obama's election and reelection. The president heralded in his November, 2012, acceptance speech, \"\"The idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like . . . . whether you're black or white, Hispanic or Asian or Native American.\"\" These essayists argue the truth of that statement and assess whether America has made any progress toward that vision.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52685020922129,"sku":"NLS9781628460216","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781628460216.jpg?v=1763483446"},{"product_id":"machado-de-assis-book-g-reginald-daniel-9780271052472","title":"Machado de Assis","description":"Examines how racial identity and race relations are expressed in the writings of Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (1839-1908), Brazil's foremost author of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53181233168657,"sku":"NLS9780271052472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780271052472.jpg?v=1772237192"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-g-reginald-daniel.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
