National Colors: Racial Classification and the State in Latin America
Loveman, Mara (Associate Professor of Sociology, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of California, Berkeley)
This book analyzes the politics and practices of official ethnoracial classification in the censuses of nineteen Latin American countries over nearly two centuries. It shows that, in addition to domestic politics, the ways that states classify their citizens are strongly influenced by shifting international criteria for how to construct modern nations and promote national development.
