Sinopsis

“Notes on America’s Racial Story” addresses factors that have made the meeting of Africans and Europeans in the U.S. and its predecessor colonies unlike the meeting of the two anywhere else. One example was the one-drop standard, which developed only in the U.S. Another was the “natural increase” of African slave population numbers in the U.S. and its preceding colonies, while “natural decrease” was the prevailing pattern in almost all other slavery-based societies in the Americas. Yet another example was an unusually keen belief that whiteness of complexion was a chief indicator of goodness, attractiveness, and status. A fourth was the settlement of the colonies that became the U.S. by family groups rather than by the solo male adventurers who led the charge in the settlement of the rest of the Americas. “Notes” tracks slave revolts in America as well as elsewhere in the Americas. It looks at such questions as whether African Americans should be embarrassed that their enslaved predecessors did not find a way to break from slavery, and whether the sexual misuse of enslaved women raised significant pedigree issues. The book also contrasts American segregation with Latin American blanqueamiento.
