Primitive racialization. 520 8 $a Many scholars believe that the modern concentration camp was born during the Cuban war for independence when Spanish authorities ordered civilians living in rural areas to report to the nearest city with a garrison of Spanish troops. But the practice of spatial concentration-gathering people and things in specific ways, at specific places, and for specific purposes-has a history in Latin America that reaches back to the conquest. In this paradigm-setting book, Daniel Nemser argues that concentration projects, often tied to urbanization, laid an enduring, material groundwork, or infrastructure, for the emergence and consolidation of new forms of racial identity and theories of race. He traces the use of concentration as a technique for colonial governance by examining four case studies from Mexico under Spanish rule: centralized towns, disciplinary institutions, segregated neighborhoods, and general collections. Nemser shows how the colonial state used concentration in its attempts to build a new spatial and social order, and he explains why the technique flourished in the colonies. Although the designs for concentration were sometimes contested and short-lived, Nemser demonstrates that they provided a material foundation for ongoing processes of racialization. This finding, which challenges conventional histories of race and mestizaje (racial mixing), promises to deepen our understanding of the way race emerges from spatial politics and techniques of population management. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History $y Spanish colony, 1540-1810. 651 0 $a Mexico $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z Mexico $x History. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z Mexico $x History. 650 0 $a Biopolitics $z Mexico $x History. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government $y 1540-1810. 650 0 $a Social structure $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Urbanization $x Social aspects $z Mexico. 650 7 $a Biopolitics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832668 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Social structure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123372 650 7 $a Urbanization $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162749 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 648 7 $a 1540-1810 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Border Hispanisms. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210030000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAFE564CE7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
