Abstract
This article tackles Brazilian nation-building in connection to anthropology, ‘race’ and racism. It employs concepts such as (Taussig’s) mimesis and Hayden White’s mythòi. The main argument is that owing to the peculiarity of nation-building in Brazil and the construction of Brazilian academia, racism, though pervasive, is more difficult to pin down than in either the US or South Africa. It proposes that Brazilian scholarly and non-scholarly discourse and practice should adopt a more critical stance in order to deal with racism in a more effective way.
