398 p., Re-examines the concepts of resistance and the effect of neoliberalism from the 1980s to the present day comparing Brazil and Mexico, two of the largest countries in Latin America. Includes Marcus J. M. de Carvalho's "The 'commander of all forests' against the 'Jacobins' of Brazil : the Cabanada, 1832-1835," and Robert W. Slenes' "A 'great arch' descending : manumission rates, subaltern social mobility, and the identities of enslaved, freeborn, and freed Blacks in southeastern Brazil, 1791-1888.
In 1995 and 1996, Verena Stolcke (1995) and Aihwa Ong (1996) were embattled over the legitimacy of the concept of citizenship -- a debate that was preceded by those writing about the complexities of Latino/a as well as Caribbean transnational migration (Basch Glick-Schiller, and Blanc 1994; Sutton and Chaney 1987) and the resultant complexities of hybridity and borderlands (Anzaldua 1987). The debate that followed in Current Anthropology in 1995 propelled the discussion further. It clarified what was at stake in reconceptualizing the classification of national belonging and pushed scholars to contend with power through the ways people resignify meaning and produce new forms of socialities outside of and in relation to the stagecraft.
