The Making of a Country: Race and Social Inequality in Brazil

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course will focus on metanarratives of racial formation in Brazil and their correlation with social inequality. An interdisciplinary approach will be used to examine how the notion of "racial paradise" was created in the first half of the 20th century, and how it has been challenged and deconstructed over the last decades by the Brazilian intelligentsia.
