Antiracist Discourse in Brazil: From Abolition to Affirmative
Action follows Teun A. van Dijk's earlier studies on racist
discourse in Europe, the USA, and Latin America. This book focuses
on antiracist discourse, focusing on the history of the discourse
against slavery and racism and in favor of abolition and
affirmative action in Brazil. After a theoretical chapter on
antiracism and antiracist discourse, the author studies Jesuit
texts of the 17th and 18th century criticizing the abuses against
slaves and the texts of black and white writers in the 19th century
advocating abolition. The author analyzes discourses of 20th
century scholars, journalists, and activists who explicitly combat
prevalent international eugenicist and racist ideologies as well as
post-abolition discrimination of black people all while challenging
the dominant myth of Brazil as a 'racial democracy.' After the
historical study of these antiracist discourses, this book offers a
detailed case study of contemporary debates on affirmative action
in Brazilian parliament.
