Abstract

The notion of race as a relational concept which takes form and manifestation in face of political and historical processes is essential to a better understanding of modern human sociability. It is among this discussion that the work here conceived wishes to corroborate the hypothesis that Brasil’s modernization process is not only conservative, but also racist. To reach this goal the present article analisates the main characteristics that marked the period of transition of this country towards the modern world based on an economic development approach. The study has as chronological point of departure the year of 1850, and has emphasis on the modernization politics elaborated during the Vargas period (1930-1945). It is shown throughout the text how the racism present in Brazil today is indeed the face of a profound and concrete process of material exclusion.
