Blackness in Peru: (Re)Tracing Afro-Peruvian Pursuits of Citizenship

$24.99

An interdisciplinary volume bringing together Peruvian, Afro-Peruvian, and Afro-diasporic scholars to map what Blackness has meant — and continues to mean — inside Peru's racial imaginary.

The collection moves across history, law, gender, performance, and everyday life, taking seriously the political work of naming, claiming, and being claimed as Black in a country that has long preferred to talk about Indigeneity instead.
