Black and Indigenous Resistance in the Americas is an essential
roadmap to understanding contemporary racial politics across the
Americas, where openly white supremacist politics are on the rise.
It is the product of a multiyear, transnational research project by
the Anti-racist Research and Action Network of the Americas in
collaboration with resistance movements confronting racial
retrenchment in Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala,
Mexico, and the United States. How did we get here? And what
anti-racist strategies are equal to the dire task of confronting
resurgent racism? This volume provides powerful answers to these
pressing questions. 1) It traces the making and contestation of
state-led racial projects in response to black and indigenous
mobilization during an era of expansion of multicultural rights in
the context of neoliberal capitalism. 2) It identifies the origins
and manifestations of the backlash against hard-fought (but hardly
far-reaching) gains by marginalized peoples, showing that (contrary
to critiques of "identity politics") the losses and anxieties
produced by the failures of neoliberalism have been understood in
racial terms. 3) It distills a path forward for progressive
anti-racist activism in the Americas that looks beyond
state-centered, rights-seeking strategies and instead situates a
critique of racial capitalism as central to the contestation of
white supremacy.
