| Description: |
This book deepens our understanding of race and the implications of racial mixture by examining the history of caste in colonial Mexico. |
| Synopsis: |
This book opens new dimensions on the history of race and caste in Latin America through examining the extreme caste groups of Mexico, particularly lobos, moriscos, and coyotes. In revealing their experiences and tracing the implications of their lives in the colonial world, a deeper understanding of the connection between mestizaje (Latin America's modern ideology of racial mixture) and colonial caste system is rendered. Using bigamy records, marriage cases, census documents, and inquisition cases, this book argues that before mestizaje emerged as a primary concept in Latin America, an earlier form of racial mixture, hybridity, and elasticity existed that must be taken seriously as its precursor. Before Mestizaje synthesizes the history of race and caste systems, while tracing the evolution and long-term impact of unique caste categories in Mexico. |
