The demographics of both countries reflect this shared past, but this is where comparisons end. The vast majority of the \"Afro-Brazilian\" population, unlike their U.S. counterparts, view themselves as neither black nor white but as mixed-race. \u003ci\u003eLegacies of Race\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first examination of Brazilian public opinion to understand racial identities, attitudes, and politics in this racially ambiguous context. Brazilians avoid rigid notions of racial group membership, and, in stark contrast to U.S. experience, attitudes about racial inequality, African-derived culture, and antiracism strategies are not deeply divided along racial lines. Bailey argues that only through dispensing with many U.S.-inspired racial assumptions can a general theory of racial attitudes become possible. Most importantly, he shows that a strict notion of racial identification in black and white cannot be assumed universal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley R.
