Abstract

In recent decades, there have been substantial developments in the sociologies of the body and race. However, race has been understudied in sociology of the body at the same time that the sociology of race has not often explored the influence of phenotypical differences on individuals’ experiences and outcomes. Using ethnographic data from interviews with seventy-three Brazilians in Governador Valadares, this chapter illustrates how race and phenotype shape perceptions of Brazilian and American nationality and discrimination in Brazil and the United States. In so doing, the findings show that researchers cannot assess race in each context without incorporating the body. Thus, more theoretical leverage can be gained in each subfield by merging both literatures to better understand the crucial role that the body and race play in racialized societies.
巴西和美国的种族、表型和国籍
近几十年来,关于身体和种族的社会学有了实质性的发展。然而,在身体社会学中对种族的研究一直不足,同时种族社会学也没有经常探讨表型差异对个人经历和结果的影响。本章利用在瓦拉达雷斯州长采访的73名巴西人的民族志数据,说明了种族和表型如何影响巴西和美国对巴西和美国国籍的看法以及巴西和美国的歧视。通过这样做,研究结果表明,如果不考虑身体因素,研究人员就无法在每种情况下评估种族。因此,通过合并两种文献,可以在每个子领域获得更多的理论杠杆,以更好地理解身体和种族在种族化社会中发挥的关键作用。
