Drawing on extensive anthropological fieldwork, Peter Wade shows how the concept of "blackness" and discrimination are deeply embedded in different social levels and contexts--from region to neighborhood, and from politics and economics to housing, marriage, music, and personal identity.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Wade's insistence on analytic issues throughout makes it impossible to read this as a book simply about race relations in Colombia. A major contribution to several fields of scholarship."--Virginia R. Dominguez, Duke University "Wade has captured the essence of blackness in Colombia...All students of race relations in the Americas should read the book."'--The Americas' "A provocative and innovative contribution to the ongoing debate on blackness and racial democracy in the Americas."'--American Historical Review'
