Abstract: "Comparative study on race relations and on social and individual images of blacks in the US and Brazil. Examines selected religious, political, and literary discourses from an interdisciplinary perspective. Supported by theories of Michael Foucault and Jacques Derrida on discourse formation and intertextuality, demonstrates the ideological concepts of the colonizers, showing how these were later replaced by scientific theories that supported the ruling classes in neglecting, mistreating, and dehumanizing the non-white population in the two countries"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
