Tóm tắt

Xã hội Nam Á hiện đại được đặc trưng bởi các dấu hiệu của chủng tộc, đẳng cấp, dân tộc và phân biệt màu sắc. Việc xem xét những bất bình đẳng xã hội và sự bi marginal hóa mà người Africana trải qua trong những xã hội này giúp làm sáng tỏ mối quan hệ biện chứng giữa đẳng cấp, chủng tộc và phân biệt màu sắc. Điều này cho phép hiểu rõ cách thức mà chủng tộc và sự tác động mạnh mẽ hơn của nó, sự phân biệt chủng tộc, hoạt động ở Nam Á. Việc lý giải các hệ quả cho chính trị Africana trong các xã hội Nam Á đòi hỏi một lý thuyết hóa về những thể loại này. Chủ nghĩa đẳng cấp có màu sắc là một phân tích tiết lộ mối quan hệ giữa chủng tộc, đẳng cấp và phân biệt màu sắc ở Nam Á và nhấn mạnh cách mà sự hiện diện của người Africana không thể chối cãi làm tăng ý nghĩa của chủng tộc, từ đó làm gia tăng những kết quả mà Siddis và Kaffirs phải đối mặt.
