Because Puerto Rican censuses were collected regularly over hundreds of years, they are fascinating “test cases” to see what census categories might have been available and effective in shaping everyday ones. Published twentieth-century censuses have been well studied, but this book also examines unpublished documents in previous centuries to understand the historical precursors of contemporary ones. State-centered theories hypothesize that censuses, especially colonial ones, have powerful transformative effects. In contrast, this book shows that such transformations are affected by the power and interests of social actors, not the strength of the state. Thus, despite hundreds of years of exposure to the official dichotomous and trichotomous census categories, these categories never replaced the continuous everyday ones because thecensus categories rarely coincided with Puerto Rican’s interests.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | census; Latin American Studies; comparative sociology; historical sociology; official statistics; state i | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-82518-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-82518-8 | | copyright | The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
