520    "Argentina promotes itself as a country of European 
       immigrants. 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
