Peter Wade focuses on the "racial democracy" of Columbia--specifically the black population of the Chocó province--to explore the significance of culture and class in a racially mixed population. Drawing on extensive anthropological fieldwork, he shows how the concepts of "blackness" and discrimination are deeply embedded in different social levels and contexts--from region to neighborhood, and from politics and economics to housing, marriage, music, and personal identity.
