From Recent Data On Disparities Between Brazilian Whites And Nonwhites In Areas Of Health, Education, And Welfare, It Is Clear That Vast Racial Inequalities Do Exist In Brazil, Contrary To Earlier Assertions In Race Relations Scholarship That The Country Is A 'Racial Democracy.' Here Michael George Hanchard Explores The Implications Of This Increasingly Evident Racial Inequality, Highlighting Afrobrazilian Attempts At Mobilizing For Civil Rights And The Powerful Efforts Of White Elites To Neutralize Such Attempts. Within A Neogramscian Framework, Hanchard Shows How Racial Hegemony In Brazil Has Hampered Ethnic And Racial Identification Among Nonwhites By Simultaneously Promoting Racial Discrimination And False Premises Of Racial Equality.Drawing From Personal Archives Of And Interviews With Participants In The Movimento Negro Of Rio De Janeiro And Sao Paulo, Hanchard Presents A Wealth Of Empirical Evidence About Afrobrazilian Militants, Comparing Their Effectiveness With Their Counterparts In Subsaharan Africa, The United States, And The Caribbean In The Postworld War Ii Period. He Analyzes, In Comprehensive Detail, The Extreme Difficulties Experienced By Afrobrazilian Activists In Identifying And Redressing Racially Specific Patterns Of Violation And Discrimination. Hanchard Argues That The Afroamerican Struggle To Subvert Dominant Cultural Forms And Practices Carries The Danger Of Being Subsumed By The Contradictions That These Dominant Forms Produce.
