Editorial Reviews
Review
"A splendid book... It is the first comprehensive analysis of Brazilian elite thought about race and a major contribution to the study of Brazilian intellectual history.O --Leo Spitzer, American Historical Review OBlack into White should be on the bookshelves of not only Brazilianists but all those who are interested in studying racial ideologies.O --Emilia Viotta da Costa, Hispanic American Historical Review
Product Description
Published to wide acclaim in 1974, Thomas E. Skidmore's intellectual history of Brazilian racial ideology has become a classic in the field. Available for the first time in paperback, this edition has been updated to include a new preface and bibliography that surveys recent scholarship in the field. Black into White is a broad-ranging study of what the leading Brazilian intellectuals thought and propounded about race relations between 1870 and 1930. In an effort to reconcile social realities with the doctrines of scientific racism, the Brazilian ideal of "whitening"—the theory that the Brazilian population was becoming whiter as race mixing continued—was used to justify the recruiting of European immigrants and to falsely claim that Brazil had harmoniously combined a multiracial society of Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples.
