"The Increasing Saliency of Race in Brazil and What the Future Holds" -- Lecture by Gladys Mitchell-Walthour

'Racism: an unfortunately common theme throughout the Americas -- which also serves as the bulk of the African diaspora. But what does this hideous reality look like in the 5th largest nation in the world, where over 50% of its population are of African descent? Poverty, crime, and the lack of opportunities are an ever-present specter to the progression of Black life in the South American giant. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Visiting Professor Gladys Mitchell-Walthour tackles those issues during her talk at the Global Brazil 2017 Conference.' -- +Duke Franklin Humanities Institute
