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.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Very nice DJ marred by quarter inch by one inch chip to top front edge, spine ends alsofrayed/creased/closed tears; book has the same extremist dynamic, on the one hand very tight (clearly unread so tight) and clean but on the other hand a gaudy owner's stamp to page all 3 page edges and worse yet a serious split on page 272 nearly detaching the last segment from the binding. When closed not visible, book is functional, and for the collector one could go either way on this one; a true dilemma. I actually read the Brazilian edition of this book and it is a key title on the subject. Book. Seller Inventory # 13847
