Recenzje

“A central focus of the volume is to expose the contemporary forces of state co-optation of corporatism that black social movements face. … This rich collection will be of great value to scholars of Afro-mobilization and makes an important intervention in the social movement literature. It is perfect for advanced coursework and study in the areas of Latin American social movements and identity politics.” (Keri Vacanti Brondo, Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, 2016)

"A landmark study that provides a model for future research in a historically marginalized field. Highly recommended." - CHOICE
