ANTI-RACIST STRUGGLE AND RACIAL DEMOCRACY IN THE 20TH CENTURY: THE LEGACY OF JORNAL QUILOMBO: NEGRO LIFE, PROBLEMS AND ASPIRATIONS (1948-1950)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Soon after the abolitionist process, at the beginning of the 20th century, a mobilization of literate blacks in the fight against racism gave rise to what we now know as the black press. Through the production of independent newspapers, magazines and serials, the Fro-Brazilians denounced daily racism and affirmed their racial identity. The Jornal Quilombo is one of these with an important cultural value. Dedicated to documenting the actions of the black theater and the main issues related to the Afro-Brazilian community, Quilombo was configured as an instrument of permanent dialogue with black organizations in Brazil. Through a bibliographic review, this theoretical essay proposes to contextualize the performance of Jornal Quilombo between the years 1948-1950, highlighting the important role developed by the booklet in combating the “myth” of racial democracy and, consequently, in the anti-racist struggle in Brazil.
