How Everyday Forms of Racial Categorization Survived Imperialist Censuses in Puerto Rico[electronic resource] /by Rebecca Jean Emigh, Patricia Ahmed, Dylan Riley. - 1st ed. 2021. - IX, 109 p.online resource.

Chapter 1: Potential of Censuses to Transformation Categorization -- Chapter 2: Methods -- Chapter 3: Spanish Mercantilist Censuses -- Chapter 4: Spanish Imperialist Censuses -- Chapter 5: US Imperialist Censuses -- Chapter 6: Assessing Explanations of Transformations in Categories.

“By looking at the complex history of the colonial censuses in Puerto Rico, this book offers rare insights into the politics of the census and the limits of empire’s classificatory schemes to transform colonized people’s everyday categories.” —Julian Go, Professor of Sociology, The University of Chicago “Concise and convincing, this book showcases how daily practices have the power to subvert powerful imperialist states. The book—analyzing state censuses in Puerto Rico from 1530 to the 21st century—is a welcoming addition to the literature of empire, race relations, and day-to-day racial practices. Definitively, a must read!” —Rosa Elena Carrasquillo, Professor of Caribbean/Latin American History, College of the Holy Cross This book examines the history of racial classifications in Puerto Rico censuses, starting with the Spanish censuses and continuing through the US ones. Because Puerto Rican censuses were collected regularly over hundreds of years, they are fascinating “test cases” to see what census categories might have been available and effective in shaping everyday ones. Published twentieth-century censuses have been well studied, but this book also examines unpublished documents in previous centuries to understand the historical precursors of contemporary ones. State-centered theories hypothesize that censuses, especially colonial ones, have powerful transformative effects. In contrast, this book shows that such transformations are affected by the power and interests of social actors, not the strength of the state. Thus, despite hundreds of years of exposure to the official dichotomous and trichotomous census categories, these categories never replaced the continuous everyday ones because the census categories rarely coincided with Puerto Rican’s interests. Rebecca Jean Emigh is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA. Patricia Ahmed is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at South Dakota State University, USA. Dylan Riley is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. .
