Changes over racial issues around the globe have not diminished its importance on politics, demography and inequality matters. On one hand, facts and debates on racial inequalities had increased, encouraging hypothesis such as “the declining significance of race over race” or a “post-racial era”. On the other hand, expectations over civil rights act in the United States, or racial democracy in Brazil, were not fully attended in a way which researchers keep facing persistent inequalities. In 21st century, however, these increasing inequalities go alongside to political speeches racially divided. Aware of these movements, and social, economic, political and demographic processes this session discusses papers using case studies or comparative perspective on i) racial classification and identity, ii) public interventions, such affirmative actions and anti-discrimination policies, iii) racial inequality, including labor market outcomes, fertility, mortality, and health outcomes, v) interracial marriage and families, and vi) social movements.
