Mary Lorena Kenny is Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Connecticut State University. She is the author of Hidden Heads of Households: Child Labor in Urban Northeast Brazil (2007).
"Grappling with fundamental anthropological questions but written
for general readers, this is a key book for students, researchers,
and instructors working on race, ethnicity, identity politics,
heritage, and memory in Latin America. Deeply Rooted in the Present
is a welcome and exciting addition to the rapidly growing field of
heritage studies."--Maria Fernanda Escallón, University of
Oregon
"Kenny provides a rich exploration of the quilombo movement, which
has transformed the politics of race, land, and culture throughout
Brazil. Throughout, Kenny illuminates the anthropology of heritage,
racism, and the making and remaking of culture and identity,
resulting in an ideal book for many college courses, not just those
focused on Brazil."--Sean Mitchell, Rutgers University
"The book engages, in a theoretically sophisticated manner, the
thorny complex of heritage and memory in a society still fraught
with the legacies of slavery and racism."--Allan C. Dawson, Drew
University
