The chapters examine the relationship of slavery and master/slave relations to nationalist projects throughout the Americas - the ways in which a history of slavery and its abolition has shaped a nation's identity and race relations within that nation. The scope of the study is unprecedented - the book ties together the entire 'Black Atlantic', including the French and Spanish Caribbean, the US, and Brazil. Through reading texts on slavery and its legacy from these countries, the volume addresses the eroticization of the plantation economy, various formations of the master/slave dialectic as it has emerged in different national contexts, the plantation as metaphor, and the relationship between texts that use cultural vs biological narratives of mestizaje (being interracial). These texts are examined with the goal of locating the origins of the different notions of race and racial orders that have arisen throughout the Americas. Isfahani-Hammond argues that without a critical revisiting of slavery and its various incarnations throughout the Americas, it is impossible to understand and rethink race relations in today's world. 410 0$aNew Directions in Latino American Cultures,$x2634-520X 606 $aEthnology$zLatin America 606 $aCulture 606 $aAmerica$xHistory 606 $aRace 606 $aLatin American Culture 606 $aHistory of the Americas 606 $aRace and Ethnicity Studies 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAmerica$xHistory. 615 0$aRace. 615 14$aLatin American Culture. 615 24$aHistory of the Americas. 615 24$aRace and Ethnicity Studies. 676 $a306.3/62/097 701 $aIsfahani-Hammond$b Alexandra$01790770 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970549703321 996 $aThe Masters and the Slaves$94327504 997 $aUNINA
