This makes it an exception to other Latin American countries, which embrace a more mixed--African, Indian, European--heritage. Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Republic traces the origins of what some white Argentines mischaracterize as a "black disappearance" by delving into the intimate lives of black women and explaining how they contributed to the making of a "white" Argentina. Erika Denise Edwards has produced the first comprehensive study in English of the history of African descendants outside of Buenos Aires in the late colonial and early republican periods, with a focus on how these women sought whiteness to better their lives and that of their children. Edwards argues that attempts by black women to escape the stigma of blackness by recategorizing themselves and their descendants as white began as early as the late eighteenth century, challenging scholars who assert that the black population drastically declined at the end of the nineteenth century because of the whitening or modernization process. She further contends that in Córdoba, Argentina, women of African descent (such as wives, mothers, daughters, and concubines) were instrumental in shaping their own racial reclassifications and destinies. This volume makes use of a wealth of sources to relate these women's choices. The sources consulted include city censuses and notarial and probate records that deal with free and enslaved African descendants; criminal, ecclesiastical, and civil court cases; marriages and baptisms records and newsletters. These varied sources provide information about the day-to- day activities of cordobés society and how women of African descent lived, formed relationships, thrived, and partook in the transformation of racial identities in Argentina."--|cProvided by publisher 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 17 Córdoba (Argentina : Province).|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1924690 650 0 Women, Black|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147364|zArgentina|zCórdoba (Province)|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79090019-781|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Black people|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85014672|xLegal status, laws, etc.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99004999|zArgentina|zCórdoba (Province)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79090019 -781|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99005024 650 7 Women, Black.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1178916 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Black people|xLegal status, laws, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/833955 650 7 Black people.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/833880 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1086509 651 0 Córdoba (Argentina : Province)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79090019|xRace relations|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00007552|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 651 7 Argentina|zCórdoba (Province)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1330489 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aEdwards, Erika Denise, 1980-|tHiding in plain sight.|dTuscaloosa : The University of Alabama Press, [[2020]|z9780817320362|w(DLC) 2019011817 |w(OCoLC)1097463751 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2325637|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
