Synopsis
Published to wide acclaim in 1974, Thomas E. Skidmore's intellectual history of Brazilian racial ideology has become a classic in the field. Available for the first time in paperback, this edition has been updated to include a new preface and bibliography that surveys recent scholarship in the field. Black into White is a broad-ranging study of what the leading Brazilian intellectuals thought and propounded about race relations between 1870 and 1930. In an effort to reconcile social realities with the doctrines of scientific racism, the Brazilian ideal of "whitening"--the theory that the Brazilian population was becoming whiter as race mixing continued--was used to justify the recruiting of European immigrants and to falsely claim that Brazil had harmoniously combined a multiracial society of Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples., Published to wide acclaim in 1974, Thomas E.

- p***j (52)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI greatly appreciate the care with which the product was packaged for shipping. Seller inserted a small amount of bubble wrap inside the DVD case to keep the disc secure during transit. The case was carefully taped shut as well, but in a way that was opened with ease upon delivery. Little details like this make a huge impact! The item pictured in the listing was the exact item received. I highly recommend this seller and will look here first for future DVD purchases.Apollo 13 Widescreen DVD Ships Free Same Day With Tracking (#317161508471)
