Modern perceptions of race across much of the Global South are
indebted to the Brazilian social scientist Gilberto Freyre, who in
works such as The Masters and the Slaves claimed that Portuguese
colonialism produced exceptionally benign and tolerant race
relations. This volume radically reinterprets Freyre's
Luso-tropicalist arguments and critically engages with the
historical complexity of racial concepts and practices in the
Portuguese-speaking world. Encompassing Brazil as well as
Portuguese-speaking societies in Africa, Asia, and even Portugal
itself, it places an interdisciplinary group of scholars in
conversation to challenge the conventional understanding of
twentieth-century racialization, proffering new insights into such
controversial topics as human plasticity, racial amalgamation, and
the tropes and proxies of whiteness.
