Notes:
286 p., Discusses the race issues that Argentines had among themselves in the 19th century. A quantitative analysis of available sources conclusively proves that in absolute terms
Afro-Argentine demographic decline did not set in until the second part of the century.
Furthermore, using a wide range of sources (such as photos) Andrews shows the persistence of an active and self-conscious (though internally split) community of colored until, at the least, the early years of the 20th century.

Notes:
164 p., Provides a syntactic description of the Afro-Bolivian Spanish determiner phrase. Afro-Bolivian Spanish is one of the many Afro-Hispanic dialects spoken across Latin America and, from a theoretical point of view, is rich in constructions that would be considered ungrammatical in standard Spanish. Yet these constructions form the core grammar of these less-prestigious, but equally efficient, syntactic systems.
