| Abstract | |
This thesis analyzes the representations of Brazil and France as models of racial fraternities on the pages of Chicago Defender between 1916 and 1940. This periodical emerged in the interwar scenario as a standard for the Black Press. In this research, we will demonstrate how Chicago Defender engaged in a struggle for black inclusion, diffusing enthusiastically the images of a new Negro connected to the American modernity. After a wave of racial violence that swept the American territory in 1919, the Chicago Defender increased the number of articles and news regarding Brazil and France, claiming both countries as examples of social orders free from racist practices and references for social mobility in which a new Negro would rise.
