Contributed by specialists in Latin American and Iberian art history, literature, history, and cultural studies, its ten chapters take a transnational view of what 'race' meant, and how visual culture supported and shaped this meaning, within the Ibero-American sphere from the late Middle Ages to the modern era. Case studies and regionally-focused essays are balanced by historiographical and theoretical offerings for a fresh perspective that challenges the reader to discern broad intersections of race, color, and the visual throughout the Iberian world. Contributors are Beatriz Balanta, Charlene Villaseñor Black, Larissa Brewer-García, Ananda Cohen Suarez, Elisa Foster, Grace Harpster, Ilona Katzew, Matilde Mateo, Mey-Yen Moriuchi, and Erin Kathleen Rowe"--Provided by publisher Notes "This collection grew out of a scholarly panel titled 'Representations of "Race" in Iberia and the Ibero-American World, ' sponsored by the American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies at the 2013 College Art Association Conference in New York"--Page vii Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-361) and index Notes Print version record Subject Human skin color -- Social aspects -- Iberian Peninsula -- History Human skin color -- Social aspects -- Latin America -- History Visual communication -- Iberian Peninsula -- History Visual communication -- Social aspects -- Latin America -- History Art and society -- Iberian Peninsula -- History Art and society -- Latin America -- History SOCIAL SCIENCE -- General.
