Description
Federico's life has been shaped by his ability to pass as white, but this privilege has also made him devoted to racial justice. As he approaches his 50th birthday, he is tasked with overseeing the design of new software aimed at removing race from college admissions decisions. A family crisis forces Federico back home, where he must confront the consequences of his past actions and the complexities of Brazil's ongoing struggle with racism. Paulo Scott's novel probes the old wounds of racial identity in Brazil, exploring themes of crime, regret, and reconciliation. Through its seething portrayal of rage and social change, Phenotypes offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience in a country grappling with its past and present.
