Whiteness in Latin America: measurement and meaning in national censuses (1850-1950) by Mara Loveman

“…Drawing on an analysis of all national censuses conducted in Latin America from 1850 to 1950, this article examines how tacit assumptions about the nature of « whiteness » informed the production of statistical knowledge about Latin American populations.
