Becoming Black Political Subjects

Discover the profound insights of Tianna S. Paschel in her compelling book, Becoming Black Political Subjects, published by Princeton University Press in 2018. This thought-provoking work spans 328 pages and examines the transformative ethno-racial legislation adopted by Latin American states since the late 1980s. As these nations shifted from denying racism to embracing cultural diversity, they began to implement significant reforms that recognized the rights of indigenous peoples and black populations. Paschel's analysis reveals how these changes contribute to a more pluralistic model of citizenship in the region. Ideal for readers interested in political science, sociology, and cultural studies, this book is a vital resource for understanding the evolving dynamics of race and identity in Latin America. Dive into the complexities of political subjectivity and the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality.
