Attila, Pedro. Videoconference interview. By Gregory Warner. 14 Aug. 2017.

In this source Petro is simply explaining his life and how the job he is interviewing for

benefits him. The source explained that government jobs take darker people. An

interesting point of the interview is when Petro describes himself with traits of both a

cuban man and a black man. Regardless of if Pedro graduated from a prestigious school,

his dream job will only take him if he has dark skin.

Garcia-Navarro, Lulu. “For Affirmative Action, Brazil Sets up Controversial Boards to

Determine Race.” ​Parallels​,

www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/09/29/495665329/for-affirmative-action-brazil-sets-

up-controversial-boards-to-determine-race. Accessed 20 Dec. 2017.

This source explains how a man who viewed himself as black/dark got turned down from

a job because the board viewed him as not black/dark. Unlike others, he decided to sue

because he was not given an explanation and believed his was being treated unfairly. The

source shows how people who didn’t speak up might have felt about having less due to

what the board viewed their race as.

Plummer, Robert. “Black Brazil Seeks a Better Future.”​BBC News, São Paulo​ 25 September

2006. 16 November 2006

In this source, the section on Brazil talks about the people of color being poor and slaves.

These people normally have lower socioeconomic positions.


Rasch, Elisabet Dueholm. “Citizens, Criminalization and Violence in Natural Resource Conflicts

in Latin America.” European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies / Revista

Europea De Estudios Latinoamericanos y Del Caribe, no. 103, 2017, pp. 131–142.

JSTOR, JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/90012017.

Although this source explains violence, human rights, and laws in Latin America, it

doesn’t talk about race. This source might be able to help my background on Latin

America but not when I go into detail how how people are treated based on the color of

their skin.

Rios, Jesus, and Steve Crabtree. “Latin Americans’ Motives for Migration.” ​Gallup News​, 23

Jan. 2008, news.gallup.com/poll/103870/latin-americans-motives-migration.aspx.

Accessed 11 Jan. 2018.

This source explains why and how many Latin Americans wanted to emigrate due to the

unemployment and poverty in their country. The authors explained why people in Brazil

moved to the U.S. or have ever thought about it. These polls show the movement out of

Latin America and into other countries due to poor living conditions.

Rugendas, Johann Moritz. ​Punitions Publiques Sur La Place - Stª Anna​. ​Wikipedia​,

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Latin_America. Accessed 20 Dec. 2017.

In this image, it shows the slavery taking place in Latin America. The dark people are

getting beaten and are barely dressed while the lighter people are fully dressed and look
to be in power. Some dark skinned people seem to be helping the lights. This shows the

separation based on skin color.

Wade, Peter. ​Race and Ethnicity in Latin America​. 2nd ed., Pluto Press. Anthropology, Culture

and Society. ​JSTOR​, www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt183p73f.7. Accessed 20 Dec. 2017.

This source shows readers how the author of the book examined race in Latin America.

He traced similarities and differences between black and Indian people’s education and

religions. This source is helpful because it also talks about slavery. It gives readers an

idea of how differently people were treated based on the color of their skin.
