Resumo

Este artigo analisa como afro-americanos em visita ao Brasil escreveram e pensaram sobre a situação racial do país ao longo do século XX. Durante a primeira metade do século, visitantes afro-americanos estavam mais inclinados a ver o Brasil como uma democracia racial exitosa, uma sociedade em que negros, pardos e brancos viviam juntos em condições de harmonia e igualdade raciais. Durante a segunda metade do século, contudo, as visões afro-americanas sobre o Brasil tornaram-se muito mais críticas, com alguns visitantes apontando a própria ideologia da democracia racial como o principal obstáculo impedindo uma genuína igualdade racial. O artigo defende que essa mudança de visão foi em grande parte um reflexo do modo como afro-americanos julgavam sua própria sociedade. Na primeira metade do século, a violência e a opressão raciais foram tão extremas nos Estados Unidos que, em comparação, faziam parecer boa a situação no Brasil. À medida que os Estados Unidos se distanciaram da segregação racial na segunda metade do século, adotando políticas para a redução da desigualdade racial, os afro-americanos tornaram-se cada vez mais críticos do fracasso brasileiro em adotar políticas semelhantes ou seguir modelos inspirados nos Estados Unidos para uma mobilização política de negros.
