Description
Summary: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.

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.
