Lau* The Gracias al Sacar, a fascinating and seemingly inconceivable practice in eighteenth century colonial Venezuela, allowed certain individuals of mixed Black and White ancestry to purchase "Whiteness" from their King. The author exposes the irony of this system, developed in a society obsessed with "natural" ordering that labeled individuals according to their precise racial ancestry. While recognizing that the Gracias al Sacar provided opportunities for advancement and an avenue for material and social struggle, the author argues that it also justified the persistence of racial hierarchy.

  • Who Is Black, White, Or Mixed Race? How Skin Color, Status, and Nation Shape Racial Classification in Latin America1
    Who Is Black, White, or Mixed Race? How Skin Color, Status, and Nation Shape Racial Classification in Latin America1 Edward Telles Princeton University Tianna Paschel University of Chicago Comparative research on racial classification has often turned to Latin America, where race is thought to be particularly fluid. Using nationally representative data from the 2010 and 2012 America’sBa- rometer survey, the authors examine patterns of self-identification in four countries. National differences in the relation between skin color, socioeconomic status, and race were found. Skin color predicts race closely in Panama but loosely in the Dominican Republic. Moreover, de- spite the dominant belief that money whitens, the authors discover that status polarizes ðBrazilÞ, mestizoizes ðColombiaÞ, darkens ðDomin- ican RepublicÞ, or has no effect ðPanamaÞ. The results show that race is both physical and cultural, with country variations in racial schema that reflect specific historical and political trajectories. Throughout the Americas, the idea of race has commonly been used to make social distinctions, especially regarding persons of African origin. 1 We thank the Ford Foundation for funding the ethnicity module of the America’s Barometer through the Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America ðPERLAÞ as well as the Latin American Public Opinion Project ðLAPOPÞ and its major supporters ðthe U.S. Agency for International Development, the United Nations Development Program, the Inter-American Development Bank, and Vanderbilt UniversityÞ. We also thank Scott Lynch, René Flores, Jennifer Jones, Andreas Wimmer, Denia Garcia, and the AJS reviewers for their feedback.

Navarro Department of Political Science and Geography University of Texas at San Antonio 6900 North Loop 1604 West San Antonio, Texas 78249 [email protected] 210-458-2549 Prepared for delivery at the Conference on “Latino Politics: The State of the Discipline,” Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, April 30 – May 1, 2003. DRAFT—DO NOT CITE WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE AUTHORS—DRAFT Fraga and Navarro 1 Our discussion of Latinas in Latino politics classifies the literature into two major analytical categories. The first category identifies largely descriptive differences between Latino men and Latinas.1 The differences focus on the traditional dimensions of political analysis including public opinion, political participation with special emphasis on organizational leadership, and electoral representation. The second category we term prescriptive possibilities. This literature focuses on Latina feminist writings and emerging models of Latina legislative leadership. Unlike the first category noted above, these literatures explicitly develop understandings of the transformative, i.e., institution changing, potential of news ways of conceptualizing the interests of Latino communities and developing strategies of policy advocacy built on the interest intersectionality of Latinas in the American polity. It is this later category that we find the most intellectually rich and most likely to affect the future practice(s) of Latino politics, and especially the role of Latinas in that Latino politics.

  • And the Missing Mestizos
    S. Schwartz Spaniards, 'pardos', and the missing mestizos: identities and racial categories in the early Hispanic Caribbean Traces the history of the mestizos, the descendants of Spanish-Indian contacts during the early stages of Caribbean settlement. Author asks whether they constituted a separate ethnicity. He also looks at the question why the position of the mestizos in the Spanish Caribbean seems different from that in other areas in Spanish America.

SCHWARTZ SPANIARDS, PARDOS, AND THE MISSING MESTIZOS: IDENTITIES AND RACIAL CATEGORIES IN THE EARLY HISPANIC CARIBBEANi On arrival in Puerto Rico today, one can not but help noticing the way in which the term criollo has become a descriptive adjective denoting things local or indigenous to the island: café criollo, comida criolla, müsica criolla, pan criollo, etc. The word criollo has become a way of claiming authen- ticity and a distinctive island identity. In the Americas, the term "criollo" had a complex history, many uses, and considerable regional variation. Used in Brazil {crioulo) and in early Spanish America as a designation for American-born black slaves, the term was often employed generically for anything locally-born. Hence usages such as ganado criollo (native cat- tle) or even, as in the case of Guatemala, of references to mestizos criollos (Megged 1992:422-24;

Guest editor Jorge Duany, director of FIU’s famed Cuban Research Institute, invited a group of leading experts to examine the repercussions of the restoration of diplomatic ties and discuss the intractable obstacles to the full restoration of relations between the two countries. Although normalization of diplomatic relations and the prospect of change have produced an exciting time for scholarship and policy analysis, the conclusion fifteen months later is that rapproachement has been slower and more modest than expected.
