Contents Introduction -- This noble race has glorious aspirations, 1830-1920 -- Remembering Africa : comparsas and candombe, 1870-1950 -- The new Negros, 1920-1960 -- Today everyone dances candombe, 1950-2010 -- Dictatorship and democracy, 1960-2010.
Summary Andrews offers a comprehensive history of Afro-Uruguayans from the colonial period to the present. Showing how social and political mobilization is intertwined with candombe, he traces the development of Afro-Uruguayan racial discourse and argues that candombe's evolution as a central part of the nation's culture has not fundamentally helped the cause of racial equality.
