This book offers a historical analysis of one of the most striking
and dramatic transformations to take place in Brazil and the United
States during the twentieth century-the redefinition of the
concepts of nation and democracy in racial terms. The multilateral
political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and
pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals
and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to
transmit these racial political messages. At times working
collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept
of "racial democracy" as a national security strategy, one meant to
suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War
II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and
blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its
ability to address racial inequities in the United States and
Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the
historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of
widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality.
