“…This is true despite the fact that the two approaches make very different assumptions about the extent to which ethnoracial identities endure and are stable once formed (Hale 2004). 77 See Hanchard (1994); Yashar (1998);Hooker (2005); Van Cott (2002); Paschel and Sawyer (2008); and Paschel (2010). …”

“…And despite important caveats, we believe that if race-based preferences were strongly prevalent in the Brazilian population, our design would detect them: in countries other than Brazil, including some thought to be characterized by weak racial or ethnic cleavages, one of us has found significant in-group preferences using a very similar experimental design. 53 We therefore conclude that race-based voter preferences are unlikely to explain the overrepresentation of white politicians in Brazil.…”

Abstract:What explains the persistence of racial or ethnic inequalities in political representation, in the absence of strongly politicized racial or ethnic cleavages? This paper uses new data to demonstrate a substantial racial gap between voters and politicians in Brazil. We show that this disparity is not plausibly due to racial preferences in the electorate-for instance, deference towards white candidates, or discrimination against non-whites. Nor do barriers to candidate entry or discrimination by party leaders likely explain the gap. Instead, we document the importance of persistent resource disparities between whites and non-whites-especially, differences in personal assets and in campaign contributions. Our findings show how the power of numerical racial minorities may persist in democracies, even in the absence of racialized politics, and highlight the role of investments by economic elites in a setting in which race and class substantially overlap.

“…Since the Latin American multicultural “boom” of the 1990s, afrodescendant organizations have emerged as relevant political actors in Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Peru, and more recently, in Venezuela. Most of these contemporary movements mobilized to challenge the hegemony of “mono‐cultural mestizaje” (Hooker ; Paschel and Sawyer ; Rahier ).…”

Resumen Este artículo analiza cómo los activistas del movimiento Afro‐venezolano participan en las instituciones del Estado Bolivariano con el fin de promover agendas en contra de la discriminación racial y en pro del reconocimiento étnico. Con la intensión de trascender los conceptos clásicos de institucionalización, examinamos los logros, ambigüedades y desafíos que experimentan estos actores en su incorporación a las diferentes esferas institucionales. Proponemos que este proceso identificado por el movimiento como “cimarronaje institucional” abre oportunidades para la creación de nuevos espacios de participación en las instituciones nacionales y locales. Sugerimos que esta práctica política se encuentra moralmente interpelada por una “ética del cimarronaje” —un marco de acción colectiva que sintetiza ideologías de resistencia histórica ante la exclusión racial y social. Argumentamos que la institucionalización no necesariamente conlleva a la paralización de la acción colectiva, sino también representa una fase más en la relación entre los movimientos sociales y el Estado.
