| Abstract | |
I analyze the trajectory of the military, professor and businessman Sydnei Lima Santos (1925-2001), also known as Coronel Sydnei. Born in a humble family in the city of Rio de Janeiro, he became an army officer, moved to the city of Curitiba still in the beginning of his career, and ended up building an important private higher education institution, Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná. I investigate how this exceptional history was shaped by class and race conditionings along two distinct displacements in the social space: a movement of social ascension and the achievement of a dominant class position. From a more subjective standpoint, I still examine the attitude developed by the Coronel towards the racial problem in correspondence to the dominant ideology of his time: the racial democracy.
