“…Although Brazilian nonwhites may attempt to use this strategy, this mechanism does not explain most of the correlation between 958--AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW 25 Ribeiro and Scalon (2001) show that social mobility is lower in Brazil than in the United States, using seven occupational categories.

Does Money Whiten? Intergenerational Changes in Racial Classification in Brazil

2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The idea that “money whitens” is a classic topic in the sociological literature on race in Brazil. This article estimates the extent to which socioeconomic status translates into racial boundary-crossing (“whitening” and “darkening”) across generations. I do so by highlighting specifically how parents' racial classification of their children varies by status (i.e., parents' own educational levels). Results from a national household survey (PNAD 2005) show that highly educated nonwhite parents are more likely to classify their children as white than are comparable less-educated nonwhite parents. This happens because (1) more-educated nonwhite parents are more likely to marry whites and less likely to marry nonwhites and (2) more-educated interracial couples label their children white more often than do less-educated interracial couples. Comparisons with 1996 data suggest that recent shifts in racial politics have offset the whitening effects of college education for nonwhite men with white wives. The results allow us to better understand the nature of racial boundaries in Brazil and lead us to reexamine the relationship between race and the inheritance of socioeconomic advantage.

“…This inattention to race in Brazilian public administration scholarship is especially significant given how race has been overlooked partly because "the existence of racism is repeatedly denied and confused with forms of class discrimination" (GUIMARÃES, 2001, see also NASCIMENTO, 2003. Yet even though the country's yawning racial disparities, among the most rigid in the world (RIBEIRO and SCANLON, 2001), have been excused as a social class problem, the public administration discipline has failed to address issues of social class. My own research on this topic has shown that, at least as reflected in RAP and RSP, attention to social equity (whether race, class or gender) is weaker even than among similar scholars in Canada, Australia, and especially the United States.…”

'Assimilação crítica' and research on the periphery

Abstract:As one of my two contributions to this discussion, I would like to first comment on the state of affairs regarding the development of "um pensamento nacional autêntico." Specifically, I would like to address the issue not from the perspective of the Brazilian trying to 'critically assimilate' foreign ideas, and so avoid the transplantation of inappropriate scholarship. Rather, I would like to look at it from the other end of this strained intellectual relationship. Much of my research related to Guerreiro Ramos has confirmed the threat that he raised regarding epistemic colonization, unwittingly exercised by a woefully parochial Anglophone scholarly community. The second topic I would like to discuss is a policy area in which Brazilians, especially in my discipline of public administration, might have something to learn from abroad, raised by Guerreiro Ramos himself in his Patologia social do branco brasileiro.

“…Although the country has an HDI of .81, according to the Human Development Report (UN, 2005), it has a Gini index of 56.7, which demonstrates high income concentration. It has a low social mobility compared to developed countries (Ribeiro & Scalon, 2001), and a low educational level, uneven when different regions of the country are compared.…”

Profiles of Maternal Care Observed in a Group of Brazilian Mothers: an Exploratory Study

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study is to characterize profiles of maternal care in a sample of Brazilian mothers, using a culturalbiological perspective. Participants were 315 women who had at least one child younger than six years-old. They were selected from six Brazilian states. In each state, two groups of mothers were studied, one from the capital and one from a small city. They were interviewed and answered scales on allocentrism, social support, adult attachment, and practices of childcare. Mothers' characteristics, the type of context (capital vs. small city), and reported childcare practices were used in a Tree analysis. A Correspondence analysis was performed using the four clusters obtained and mothers' answers regarding their youngest child. Univariate GLM analyses were performed to compare mothers in the four clusters in terms of their scores on the different scales. Four maternal profiles presenting distinctive patterns of association between mothers' characteristics and care practices displayed to the youngest child were identified. We conclude that maternal care is a multi-determined phenomenon and that the method employed in this study can give insights into how the combination of diverse social-biological factors can result in a set of childcare practices.
