Abstract
This chapter analyzes racial inequalities in Brazil along 50 years exploring the superposition of race and class. How has the topic of race relations and inequalities been addressed in Brazil? Has the inequality situation changed from 1960 on? If so, how have those changes been interpreted? Despite the numerous social changes Brazil has undergone in 50 years, the vast majority of blacks were hold at the bottom of the social pyramid. First, the chapter briefly reviews how the literature on race relations and inequalities has addressed the issue of black social status in Brazil. Second, the chapter examines racial disparities over time, taking into account the fundamental factors and effects relating to the reproduction of racial inequality in Brazil, such as educational opportunities and holding a university degree.
