Shownotes Transcript

Brazil's heavily integrated society and lack of historical segregation make addressing inequality between light and dark skinned Brazilian's difficult, and yet the data indicates they exist.

Vânia Penha-Lopes, Professor of Sociology at Bloomfield College and author of *"Confronting Affirmative Action in Brazil: University Quota Students and the Quest for Racial Justice" *discusses the challenges of implementing affirmative action in Brazil, and what lessons we might learn from it in the United States.
