Question 3: Revised Research Question
The abolition of slavery in Brazil did not necessarily mean the eradication of racial attitudes in the multiracial society that remained behind. On the contrary, the available literature on slavery and the struggle for emancipation hint on the racial divisions that prevail in contemporary Brazilian societies as a mean to define the social hierarchies of the country. In other words, while the abolition of slavery dictated equality among the races, beliefs of white supremacy prevail, and the issue of racial divisions remains palpable despite efforts to ignore the same. For the given reasons, there is a need to consider the sustenance of white superiority from the closing of the nineteenth century to the last quarter of the twentieth century. A reading of the given texts will provide insight on racial democracy as an aftermath of the slavery institution in Brazil.
How did slavery affect the multiracial societies of Brazil even after abolition?
