Abstract

The text on screen aims to situate the categories of race, racism and race relations within the theoretical matrix of Geography. Our intention is to propose some possibilities for the interpretation of race relations in Brazil from a geographic analysis. We are convinced that the ethnic-racial issue is one of the many possible themes to be covered by the analytical leather of geographic science, mainly because it is possible to detect the record of this debate in the vast literature produced throughout the historical process of formation of geographical thought in particular in Geography literature produced during much of the 20th century in Brazil and worldwide.

  • Em uma passagem de sua obra “Viagem as Regiões Equatoriais do Novo Continente” ele se indigna ao perceber o tratamento direcionado aos escravizados, o geógrafo assinala que; “É coisa de chorar quando penso que há ainda nas Antilhas colonos europeus capazes de marcar seus escravos com ferro quente para reconhecê-los e identificá-los quando escaparem” (Ibid., pág. 71)
