Blackness and Race Mixture: The Dynamics of Racial Identity in Colombia

Peter Wade focuses on the racial democracy of Columbia--specifically the black population of the Chocó province--to explore the significance of culture and class in a racially mixed population. Drawing on extensive anthropological fieldwork, he shows how the concepts of blackness and discrimination are deeply embedded in different social levels and contexts--from region to neighborhood, and from politics and economics to housing, marriage, music, and personal identity.
