Sex and race have significantly affected the trajectories of Brazil's historical geographies and its contemporary racialized relations. Interpretations of gender, race, and color in Brazil have produced distinct racialized relations and diverse
color categories in contrast to the rigid binary racial categories (i.e., black–white) traditionally used in the United States. In Brazil, racialized relations have traditionally remained cordial, giving life to the so-called myth of racial democracy
, and were not shaped by formal legal boundaries as in the United States; however, racialized relations in Brazil were forged by deeply embedded informal borders—physical and sociocultural—coupled with historical processes, which continue to appear in today's
Using a formal model, a data set on Texas high school students, and admission figures from Texas AandM University, the A. demonstrates that under such plans, racial diversity at the university level is dependent on racial segregation at the high
school level. Despite the effort to use geographic criteria to achieve racial diversity, there may simply be no adequate proxy for racial identity other than racial identity. Such plans hide the political and social activities that maintain racial
Reporting oppression : mapping racial prejudice in Anti-Caste and Fraternity, 1888-1895
The paper presents a close reading of the reports of racial oppression that appeared in issues of two periodicals between 1888 and 1895. They created an extensive political geographical imagination by mapping international cases of racial prejudice
. The focus upon racial inequality across the United States as well as the British empire enabled it to create a distinctive critique of racial prejudice across the English-speaking world. A framework is developed for debates on racial prejudice that drew
together criticisms of labour laws in India, the removal of people from their lands in Southern Africa, the racial segregation of public transport in the USA and the restriction of Chinese labour in Australia.

The A. argues that racisms are an immanent and organizing logic manifest in the production of racial heterogeneities and differentiations upon which cosmopolitical visions depend. To develop these claims, the A. opens with a 1907 sketch which
depicts Vancouver both as the most cosmopolitan city in the world and as a site of anti-Asian violence. in racially charged colonial Vancouver, the indifference that Europeans expressed in their encounters with Asian migrants erupted into racial enmity

We found moderate levels of residential segregation of socioeconomic groups. Levels of social class segregation varied little from one urbanized area to another and were about the same in central cities and subsurban rings. Racial residential
segregation was much greater than the segregation of social classes within either the black or white communities. The extent of racial residential segregation does not vary by educational attainment, occupation or income.
Racial segregation was instituted at the foundation of East London and modified thereafter. Thus prior to the enactment of the Group Areas Act the city was highly segregated. - (AJC)

The A. examines aspects of the notion of performativity as related to race. She proposes that the experience of mixed race identity can offer opportunities for the performance of racialized identities. Drawing from qualitative interviews, she
suggests that some mixed race women put into play racialized performances, demonstrating a desire to create new meanings out of imposed hierarchical and dualistic racial orders.
