In The Color of Modernity, Barbara Weinstein focuses on race,
gender, and regionalism in the formation of national identities in
Brazil; this focus allows her to explore how uneven patterns of
economic development are consolidated and understood. Organized
around two principal episodes-the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution
and 1954's IV Centenario, the quadricentennial of Sao Paulo's
founding-this book shows how both elites and popular sectors in Sao
Paulo embraced a regional identity that emphasized their European
origins and aptitude for modernity and progress, attributes that
became-and remain-associated with "whiteness." This racialized
regionalism naturalized and reproduced regional inequalities, as
Sao Paulo became synonymous with prosperity while Brazil's
Northeast, a region plagued by drought and poverty, came to
represent backwardness and Sao Paulo's racial "Other." This view of
regional difference, Weinstein argues, led to development policies
that exacerbated these inequalities and impeded democratization.
