Recently indigenous social movements in these countries have intensified debate about racism and drawn attention to the connections between present-day discrimination and centuries of colonialism and violence. In \u003ci\u003eHistories of Race and Racism\u003c\/i\u003e, anthropologists, historians, and sociologists consider the experiences and representations of Andean and Mesoamerican indigenous peoples from the early colonial era to the present. Many of the essays focus on Bolivia, where the election of the country's first indigenous president, Evo Morales, sparked fierce disputes over political power, ethnic rights, and visions of the nation. The contributors compare the interplay of race and racism with class, gender, nationality, and regionalism in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. In the process, they engage issues including labor, education, census taking, cultural appropriation and performance, mestizaje, social mobilization, and antiracist legislation. Their essays shed new light on the present by describing how race and racism have mattered in particular Andean and Mesoamerican societies at specific moments in time.\u003cp\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eRossana Barragán\u003cbr\u003eKathryn Burns\u003cbr\u003eAndrés Calla\u003cbr\u003ePamela Calla\u003cbr\u003eRudi Colloredo-Mansfeld\u003cbr\u003eMaría Elena García\u003cbr\u003eLaura Gotkowitz\u003cbr\u003eCharles R.
