Negro in Brazilian Society (Institute of Latin American Studies)
An English translation of Florestan Fernandes's study of race relations in Brazil, examining the social position of Black Brazilians in Sao Paulo and challenging the myth of racial democracy.
Work Information
An important sociological study that reads Black experience in Brazilian society through history and class.
This book repositions the social status of Black Brazilians within their historical background and the process of class formation. Rather than accepting the common claim of racial democracy at face value, it traces the realities of discrimination and integration empirically, presenting Brazilian society as a far more complex structure.
Review Summaries
-
It is widely treated as a classic for understanding race relations in Brazil, with readers praising its close analysis of social psychology and the structures of discrimination. Although some of the terminology now feels dated, it is still regarded as a decisive work.
