Abstract:
Through a comprehensive analysis of the politics and practice of official ethno-racial classification in the censuses of 19 Latin American states across nearly two centuries, this book explains why most Latin American states classified their citizens by race on early national censuses, why they stopped the practice of official racial classification around mid-century, and why they reintroduced ethno-racial classification on national censuses at the dawn of the 21st century
