Reinterpreting Comparative Race Relations
lAWith respect to race relations, the Brazilian situation is probably the nearest approach to paradise to be found anywhere in the world, said sociologist Gilberto Freyre (1959: 9). Although this blunt statement by Brazil's noted scholar represents one of his less guarded observations, it does accurately reflect an assessment that has been popular through much of the twentieth century.' Students of race relations in the United States have long be…

This essay examines the complex relationship between racial prejudice and the denial of citizenship rights to Afro-Brazilians during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that Brazilian intellectuals and political leaders, influenced by European theories of racial determinism, constructed a myth of racial democracy that masked the ongoing oppression and marginalization of black Brazilians.
