In 1982, Brazil announced ambitious plans to build a spaceport in one of its poorest regions, the peninsula of Alcântara, once a booming coastal town within the global cotton economy. Promising riches, progress, and development, the government dispatched the Air Force and a new? space cavalry to build the satellite launch base, which was completed in 1990. Space and Race by anthropologist Sean Mitchell tells the story of what happened after the initial utopian visions dissolved amid land conflicts, deadly satellite launch failure, international intrigue, and, of course, in this famously unequal country with longstanding ambitions to international power, conflicts over inequality. As Mitchell shows, the disputes between landowners, bureaucrats, scientists, and activists have changed over time. Charting how and why they have changed allows Mitchell to reveal the experience of inequality at multiple scales, from the interpersonal to the global. A deft portrayal of the forces that perpetuate inequality as well as the ways in which people conceptualize political transformation, Space and Race brings theoretical precision to a global problem while offering the most in-depth ethnographic study of Brazil's recent politics of inequality to date.

Sean T. Mitchell, Books, Social and Cultural Studies, Constellations Of Inequality: Space, Race, And Utopia In Brazil, In 1982, the Brazilian Air Force arrived on the Alcântara peninsula to build a state-of-the-art satellite launch facility. They displaced some 1,500 Afro-Brazilians from coastal land to inadequate inland villages, leaving many more threatened with displacement. The project was a vast undertaking, and the decades since its 1990 completion have seen it mired in controversy. Constellations of Inequality tells that story, offering a uniquely insightful ethnography of Brazil's inequality politics. Sean T. Mitchell analyzes conflicts over land, ethnoracial identity, mobilization among escaped slave descendants, failures and military-civilian conflict in the launch program, and international intrigue. Throughout, he illuminates inequality and political consciousness. How people conceptualize and act upon the unequal conditions in which they find themselves, he shows, is as much as a cultural and historical matter a material one. Deftly broadening our understanding of STS, economic issues, and consciousness on local, national, and global levels, Constellations of Inequality paints a portrait of struggles over race, technology, development, and inequality that will interest a broad spectrum of readers. .
