74. For example, 1821 is not the date for the abolition of slavery in Colombia (201).
75. it was actually 1851, and 1821 was the date of the 'free womb law' that freed children born to slave mothers. The demographic figures for Brazil on 203 are wrong; they are right on 229. An estimate of the black population of Colombia is given as 4 per cent (202). The 2005 census gives a-naturally contested-figure of 10.5 per cent; for pre-census estimates of the black population in Colombia.

The quotation about Costa Rica attributed to Chomsky on 220 belongs to Gladys Spence (listed in the bibliography on 244). The word crisol is misspelled on 224, as is the city Cartagena on 238. The Portuguese mestiçagem is spelled consistently without the cedilla.
