Packet 8: Bonus 1

Thomas Skidmore’s Black Into White traces the uneasy relationship between scientific racists like Raimundo Nina Rodrigues and the theory of branqueamento (“brahn-kay-ah-MEN-too”), or “whitening,” that followed this law. For 10 points each:
[10e] What 1888 law ended slavery in Brazil?
ANSWER: Golden Law [or Lei Áurea]
[10h] Whitening was a precursor to this nationalist theory, which deems Brazil a society without discrimination. This two-word ideal for the Brazilian polity is usually traced to Gilberto Freyre’s book Casa-Grande e Senzala.
ANSWER: racial democracy [or democracia racial]
[10m] In tracing the mestiço (“mess-TEE-soo”) origins of Brazil, Freyre blithely praised these “few thousand daring males” who explored the interior for gold. These frontiersmen, often mixed-race mamelucos, led slave raids in the 16th century.
ANSWER: bandeirantes [prompt on flag-carriers]
