In extended treatments of the anthropology of ethnicity, law, and religion and of the region’s modern culture, Lehmann sets out the bases of a more grounded interpretation, drawing inspiration from Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile, and from a lifelong engagement with issues of development, religion, and race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe decolonial places race at the centre of its interpretation of injustice and, together with the multiple other exclusions dividing Latin American societies, traces it to European colonialism. However, it has not fully absorbed the uniquely unsettling nature of Latin American race relations, which perpetuate prejudice and inequality, yet are marked by \u003ci\u003emétissage\u003c\/i\u003e, pervasive borrowing, and mimesis. Moreover, it has not integrated its own disruptive feminist branch, nor has it taken much interest in either the interwoven history of indigenous religion and hegemonic Catholicism or the evangelical tsunami which has upended many assumptions about the region’s culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes that in Latin America, where inequality and violence are more severe than anywhere else, and where COVID-19 has revealed the deplorable state of the institutions charged with ensuring the basic requirements of life, the time has come to instate a universalist concept of social justice. This should encompass a comprehensive approach to race, gender, class, and human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362506785004,"sku":"9781509537532","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12397573482725.jpg?v=1772885246"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/david-lehmann.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
