Book, Genocide of black Brazilians: process of masked racism[LS]

The concept of 'racial democracy' was (and still is) a mantra of national pride. Of those who refuse reality. One of the greatest references in defending the rights of black people in Brazil, even after his death, Abdias Nascimento overlaps personal testimonies, reflections, comments and criticisms, opposing the official discourse on the social and cultural condition of black Brazilians to reality, deconstructing the which is conventionally called 'racial democracy', a utopian and unrealistic scenario in which 'blacks and whites live harmoniously, enjoying equal opportunities for existence, without any interference, in this game of social parity, of their respective racial or ethnic origins.'
