Restall also rejects "race" as a marker of individual identity, in favor of a more complicated combination of ethnic and racial classifications, occupation, kinship, and location. Still, his data might suggest an even more complex picture than he portrays. For example, he argues that a distinct Afro-Yucatecan community did not exist in colonial Merida, and by extension Yucatan, because a sizeable 46 percent of Afro-Yucatecan grooms married Maya or mestiza brides, while 54 percent chose Afro-Yucatecan brides. Yet, he does not discuss the marriage patterns of women of African descent, who proved to be significantly more endogamous than men in colonial Mexico.
