The demographics of both countries reflect this shared past, but this is where comparisons end. The vast majority of the \"Afro-Brazilian\" population, unlike their U.S. counterparts, view themselves as neither black nor white but as mixed-race. \u003ci\u003eLegacies of Race\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first examination of Brazilian public opinion to understand racial identities, attitudes, and politics in this racially ambiguous context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazilians avoid rigid notions of racial group membership, and, in stark contrast to U.S. experience, attitudes about racial inequality, African-derived culture, and antiracism strategies are not deeply divided along racial lines. Bailey argues that only through dispensing with many U.S.-inspired racial assumptions can a general theory of racial attitudes become possible. Most importantly, he shows that a strict notion of racial identification in black and white cannot be assumed universal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Stanley R.
