Four prominent 19th and 20th-century US African-American and Latin American intellectuals - Frederick Douglass and Domingo F. Sarmiento, and W.E.B. Du Bois and Jose Vasconcelos - have never been read alongside each other. Although these thinkers addressed key political and philosophical issues in the Americas, political theorists have yet to compare their ideas about race. By juxtaposing these thinkers, 'Theorizing Race in the Americas' takes up the opportunity to bring African-American and Latin American political thought into conversation, and in turn, maps a genealogy of racial theory throughout the hemisphere.

How race shapes expectations about whose losses matterIn democracies, citizens must accept loss; we can't always be on the winning side. But in the United States, the fundamental civic capacity of being able to lose is not distributed equally. Propped up by white supremacy, whites (as a group) are accustomed to winning; they have generally been able to exercise political rule without having to accept sharing it. Black citizens, on the other hand, are expected to be political heroes whose civic suffering enables progress toward racial justice. In this book, Juliet Hooker, a leading thinker on democracy and race, argues that the two most important forces driving racial politics in the United States today are Black grief and white grievance. Black grief is exemplified by current protests against police violence-the latest in a tradition of violent death and subsequent public mourning spurring Black political mobilization. The potent politics of white grievance, meanwhile, which is also not new, imagines the U.S. as a white country under siege.Drawing on African American political thought, Hooker examines key moments in U.S. racial politics that illuminate the problem of loss in democracy. She connects today's Black Lives Matter protests to the use of lynching photographs to arouse public outrage over post-Reconstruction era racial terror, and she discusses Emmett Till's funeral as a catalyst for the civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s. She also traces the political weaponization of white victimhood during the Obama and Trump presidencies. Calling for an expansion of Black and white political imaginations, Hooker argues that both must learn to sit with loss, for different reasons and to different ends

Primera entrega de una serie dedicada a la "Diáspora afrodescendiente en México y América Central", este volumen analiza los procesos políticos contemporáneos que atañen a las sociedades, grupos organizados, colectivos sociales e individuos calificados o autoconsiderados como "negros" o afrodescendientes. Los autores parten de estudios de caso y análisis teóricos, con textos que analizan la dimensión política de las organizaciones afrodescendientes y sus estrategias para afirmarse como sujetos políticos y culturales en sus respectivos ámbitos. El libro defiende una tesis que resulta simple: el derecho a decidir y a organizarse con base en el respeto a la "diferencia" y la "ciudadanía multicultural" se asocia con su contrario, es decir, con la libertad de no escoger, el respeto a la identidad no-étnica y la ciudadanía "sin adjetivo". Odile Hoffmann, geógrafa del Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD, Francia), ha trabajado en México y Colombia sobre procesos identitarios desde una perspectiva geográfica y política, en particular con poblaciones afrodescendientes.
