Abstract
The present work is a brief immersion on the studies about the identity and the intrinsic relation between us and the "others". I intertwine my voice with several other voices that have guided me through the compression of similarities and differences between "I" and "other," demonstrating how this relation integrates identity, even in the current conjuncture marked by quick relations, the stage of hybridization and miscegenation imbricated in ethnic-racial relations. In this sense, I take as an analytical context the news that the singer Fabiana Cozza had renounced the role of Dona Ivone Lara in the musical "Dona Ivone Lara - a black smile", after a series of criticisms made, because, according to is daughter of white mother and black father, would not have legitimate and justifiable black skin to interpret the sambista. In view of this, the singer's words of resignation reveal the paradox of a miscegenation which is responsible for the approximation and distancing.
