Racialism, Drugs, and Migration: Contemporary Issues in Latin America and the Caribbean provides students with a collection of curated readings that focus on modern challenges within these regions.

The anthology is divided into three distinct sections. Section I features a focus on ethnicity and racialism, with readings that address the nationalization of ethnicity, Black politics in Latin America, Mexico's indigenous resistance to globalization, and the myth of racial democracy in Brazil. In Section II, students read articles about the history, production, and trade of drugs within Latin America, as well as the effects of the War on Drugs on Latin American females and the environment. Section III speaks to issues related to migration and transnationalism, including the migration of indentured Indians from India to the Caribbean, return migration to the Caribbean, issues related to poverty and inequality in Mexico, and more.

Designed to encourage discussion, critical thinking, and reflection, Racialism, Drugs, and Migration is an ideal resource for courses in ethnic and cultural studies.
