The volume brings together an international group of historians and anthropologists in a critical reflexion on the past and present of scientific visions about Luso-Brazilian racial excepcionalism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book description:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Modern perceptions of race across much of the Global South are indebted to the Brazilian social scientist Gilberto Freyre, who in works such as\u00a0<em>The Masters and the Slaves<\/em>\u00a0claimed that Portuguese colonialism produced exceptionally benign and tolerant race relations. This volume radically reinterprets Freyre\u2019s Luso-tropicalist arguments and critically engages with the historical complexity of racial concepts and practices in the Portuguese-speaking world. Encompassing Brazil as well as Portuguese-speaking societies in Africa, Asia, and even Portugal itself, it places an interdisciplinary group of scholars in conversation to challenge the conventional understanding of twentieth-century racialization, proffering new insights into such controversial topics as human plasticity, racial amalgamation, and the tropes and proxies of whiteness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/downloads\/intros\/AndersonLuso-Tropicalism_intro.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Read here the INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/a> by Warwick Anderson, Ricardo Roque and Ricardo Ventura Santos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/title\/AndersonLuso-Tropicalism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here to see the TABLE OF CONTENTS and Reviews<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Luso-tropicalism and Its Discontents: The Making and Unmaking of Racial Exceptionalism&#8221;, the new book edited by \u00a0Warwick Anderson, Ricardo Roque, and Ricardo Ventura Santos has just been published by Berghahn, with contributions from anthropologists and historians.                                                                                    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,40],"tags":[45,9,147,68,111,277,113,282,12,121,94,129,95,18],"class_list":["post-3271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-publicacao","category-investigacao","tag-africa","tag-angola","tag-anthropology","tag-asia","tag-atlantic","tag-book","tag-brazil","tag-colonialism","tag-mocambique","tag-portugal","tag-race","tag-racism","tag-ciencia","tag-timor"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","pt"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"pt":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3271"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6127,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3271\/revisions\/6127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gi-imperios.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
