Only one Latin American journal is devoted specifically to the study of race

Evidence

Although this intellectual movement has grown in size, amassed more data, and developed theoretically, its broader impact remains limited. For instance, antiracist scholars have yet to significantly affect the field of Latin American studies. One indicator of this is the dearth of articles published in most Latin American studies journals that directly address the issues of race and racism. Furthermore we are aware of only a single academic periodical, the Brazilian journal Estudos Afro-Asidticos, devoted specifically to the study of race in Latin America. It would appear, then, that most researchers in this region continue to operate with the assumption that racism is not a particularly relevant matter in Latin America and therefore not worthy of sustained reflection. As a result, Latin Americanists have not adequately explored the significance of white supremacy for a range of social, political, and economic issues. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3566

• QUESTION: Even the field’s flagship journal excludes race; worth checking whether Estudos Afro-Asiaticos still exists and what its trajectory has been.
