Abstract

These are three not only very different but also uneven books: A highly detailed and originally conceived historical narrative; a politically driven, pamphletlike essay; and a careful, well-written ethnography, centered on the conflict between discourse and practice. The three books do share a common concern for race relations in Brazil and, more specifically, for the mechanisms of racial domination. These books, however, differ from one another with regard to the perspective on agency and negotiation, as well as the amount of hope versus despair the authors project onto the future of Brazil's race relations.
