“…Brazil is a country that for decades has founded its national identity upon the concept of its cultural and racial mixture (mestiçagem or miscigenação in Portuguese)-a notion that seems to be borne out by the genetic data cited above. Yet, far from being a simple fact of Brazil's colonial past, the notion of mixture also forms the foundation of a powerful political narrative, built up by Brazilian elites in the 1930s with the intention of unifying the nation internally, while also projecting onto the international stage an image of a progressive country enjoying a uniquely harmonious state of race relations (Schwarcz 1996). Despite this confident self-portrait, meant to strike a contrast with the divisive policies of racial segregation being pursued in the United States, South Africa, and Germany at the time, Brazilian governors and intellectuals had long been concerned with how to manage the country's large ex-slave population, broadly diagnosed as socially backward and racially degenerate by anthropologists and medical scientists during the late nineteenth century (Skidmore 1974;Schwarcz 1993).…”

“…De acordo com Schwarcz (1996) A intolerância contra religiões de matrizes africanas, o genocídio da população negra jovem, discursos de ódio contra negros, a reprodução de uma epistemologia que os infantiliza e deprecia, a erotização de seus corpos traduzem, entre outros exemplos, um modelo de sociedade que se constitui e naturaliza uma hierarquia entre seres humanos que estabelece o respeito a partir dos fenótipos e características culturais identificados como brancos.…”

“…Se, por certo tempo, foi associada a "atavismo" e "atraso", ocupando o polo oposto da "ciência" e do "progresso", noções que tanto animaram as elites intelectuais no processo de transição política republicana, a "tradição" tornava-se o norte de "[...] uma 'essência' nacional, uma identidade última e profunda a ser descoberta na própria alma popular". (CUNHA, 2001;MELLO, 2009;SCHWARCZ, 1996) Porém O usuário apresentado pelo psiquiatra era um degenerado em parte natural e em parte social. De um lado, seus "caracteres étnicos" o tornavam presa fácil de ideias confusas, por outro, o meio social o flagelava, o torturava, relegando-o à "ignorância".…”
