In Scripts of Blackness, Isar P. Godreau explores how Puerto Rican national discourses about race--created to overcome U.S. colonial power--simultaneously privilege whiteness, typecast blackness, and silence charges of racism. Based on an ethnographic study of the barrio of San AntoÌn in the city of Ponce, Scripts of Blackness examines how institutional and local representations of blackness developed from a power-laden process that is inherently selective and political, not neutral or natural. Godreau traces the presumed benevolence or triviality of slavery in Puerto Rico, the favoring of a Spanish colonial whiteness (under a hispanophile discourse), and the insistence on a harmonious race mixture as discourses that thrive on a presumed contrast with the United States that also characterize Puerto Rico as morally superior. In so doing, she outlines the debates and social hierarchies that inform the racialization of San AntoÌn and its residents as black. Mining ethnographic materials and anthropological and historical research, Scripts of Blackness provides powerful insights into the critical political, economic, and historical context behind the strategic deployment of blackness, whiteness, and racial mixture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-289) and index. 505 0 $a Place, race, and the housing debate -- Slavery and the politics of erasure -- Unfolkloric slavery : alternative histories of San AntoÌn -- Hispanophile zones of whiteness -- His-panic/my panic : hispanophobia and the reviled whiteness of Spain -- Flowing through my veins : populism and the hierarchies of race mixture -- Irresolute blackness : struggles and maneuvers over the representation of community. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Colonial influence. 651 0 $a San AntoÌn (Ponce, P.R.) $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Ponce (P.R.) $x Race relations. 650 0 $a Race $x Political aspects $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Puerto Rico. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Puerto Rico. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Relations $z United States. 650 0 $a Geopolitics $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a Geopolitics $z United States. 830 0 $a Global studies of the United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214042645.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025011.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94D65DFC961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
