Summary:

This book is a radical critique of the ideology of mestiçagem and the so-called "racial democracy" of twentieth-century Brazil. Divided into essays, studies, and interventions, the volume explores themes such as race relations, the politics of negritude, the critique of Gilberto Freyre and lusotropicalism, the role of black political movements in Brazil and the United States, and the intersections between race, science, and cultural production. It highlights Oliveira's comparative perspective on Latin American and U.S. racial ideologies, his commitment to decolonizing knowledge, and his contributions to black intellectual and political struggles. With a preface by Flavia Rios and a postface by Rafael Petry Trapp, the collection makes visible the critical and transformative dimensions of Oliveira's thought.
