"This book explores the politics of race, censuses, and citizenship, drawing on the complex history of questions about race in the U.S. and Brazilian censuses. It reconstructs the history of racial categorization in American and Brazilian censuses from each country's first census in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries up through the 2000 census.

It sharply challenges certain presumptions that guide scholarly and popular studies, notably that census bureaus are (or designed to be) innocent bystanders in the arena of politics, and that racial data are innocuous demographic data."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details

First Sentence

"Obtaining racial data would seem to be a straightforward process: the census asks a question; statisticians, demographers, and other properly trained professionals tabulate the responses."
