Abstract

In her study on the configuration of difference in colonial New Granada, Joanne Rappaport contends that many studies "tend to ignore how different practices of distinguishing one individual from another came into play in concrete situations," and as a result they "end up labeling as 'race' something that was much more multifaceted." Subsequently, she urges scholars to interpret colonial subjects and their identities on their own terms. This study responds to Rappaport's call by analyzing the workings of the historical concept of calidad in colonial Spanish America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
