Racismo y mestizaje

By Gonzalo Portocarrero Maisch

Subjects: Racism, Social conditions, Miscegenation

Description: "Valuable collection of essays studies violence in Peru as an answer or reaction to the racial oppression and cruelty inherited from the colonial period. The three sets of essays look at social interaction between those who dominate (based on fear and guilt) and those who are dominated (based on resentment and hate), at physical traits and reactions to them, and the different strategies, particularly improved economic status, utilized by the oppressed to overcome racial prejudice"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
