Based on extensive ethnographic work in the country and informed by more than eighty interviews with Peruvians of African descent, this groundbreaking study explains how ideas of race, color, and \u003ci\u003emestizaje\u003c\/i\u003e in Peru differ greatly from those held in other Latin American nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conclusion that Tanya Maria Golash-Boza draws from her rigorous inquiry is that Peruvians of African descent give meaning to blackness without always referencing Africa, slavery, or black cultural forms. This represents a significant counterpoint to diaspora scholarship that points to the importance of slavery in defining blackness in Latin America as well as studies that place cultural and class differences at the center of racial discourses in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTanya Maria Golash-Boza\u003c\/b\u003e, assistant professor of sociology and American studies at the University of Kansas, is the author of \u003ci\u003eImmigration Nation?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52618051420467,"sku":"9780813044491","price":42.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/cFovYUdLZE10NG5xeUV0RmdOQ2kwUT09.webp?v=1761901014","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/yo-soy-negro-blackness-in-peru-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
