Abstract
Michel Agier examines race and culture in the formation of Black identity and its implications on the sociological and anthropological studies of Brazil. In particular, Agier draws on his work in the region of Bahia. Agier questions the evolutionist paradigm which has dominated Brazilian studies of race relations for several years by examining racial, cultural and social dimensions of the construction of black identity. In a first part, he presents an historical analysis of the construction of Brazilian identity, which he then applies to the current institutions of black identity in a modern urban milieu.
