Abstract

This article aims to identify the representations of black people in the pages of the magazine O Pirralho, with critical observations on the caricatures and texts published by the journal. For this purpose, editions issued in 1912 are used as primary sources. In addition to the general analysis of such representations, special emphasis is given to the event of discrimination perpetrated by the magazine against Leopoldo de Freitas, writer and public figure. The main argument is that the journal, although recognized for its irreverence, typical to the environment of aesthetic modernism, reproduced stereotypes that contributed to the maintenance of the social places of black people in the post-abolition context.
