Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Race does not mean the same thing everywhere.A person can cross a border without changing their body and still be read differently by the society receiving them. Someone considered mixed in Brazil may be treated as Black in the United States. A white Latin American may become Latino abroad. An Indigenous person may be reduced to a racial checkbox that cannot capture land, nationhood, language, or sovereignty. A passport may soften suspicion for one traveler while documents expose another person to exclusion.Race and Racism Across the Globe: The Americas is a comparative nonfiction guide to the unwritten rules that shape race across borders.Moving through the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Colombia, Argentina, and the wider Americas, Bosco Mutarambirwa reveals how societies classify and rank people through color, ancestry, nationality, language, migration, class, documents, and belonging.Why can someone become more visibly Black after leaving their own country?How can mestizaje celebrate Indigenous ancestry while marginalizing living Indigenous peoples?Why can Canadian multiculturalism coexist with unresolved questions of Indigenous land and sovereignty?How can nationality function like race along the Dominican-Haitian border?And how can a tourist be welcomed while a worker with similar skin is treated as a threat?Combining vivid narrative scenes, documented cases, key laws, demographic evidence, historical foundations, and cross-border analysis, the book examines how racial meaning operates through policing, education, employment, beauty, dating, media, sports, tourism, migration, and everyday social life.Rather than forcing every country into a single American framework, the book shows how each society builds its own racial map-and how those maps can change when people move between systems.Written for general readers, students, educators, travelers, migrants, journalists, professionals, and anyone trying to understand identity in an interconnected world, this book offers a clear framework for recognizing race even when it hides behind other names.This is not an encyclopedia. It is a decoder for the moment when the racial map you inherited no longer explains the place where you stand. This item is printed on demand.
