| Abstract | |
This dissertation is about black population in São Paulo city, in the beginning of XXcentury, through black press, great press, and police documentation. Individuals who nominated themselves as "class of the colored men" had written the black periodicals. For being considerated "colored man", black people must follow some rules of moral behavior, propagated in articles and by critical in specific sections of the black newspapers. Who did not share those rules were been called for them by "pretos". "Colored men" had fought racism and discrimination, however, that fight could only been accomplished by the black people's joint action which ought to decimate the social preconception they were associate by society, whom considers them a priori as vagabonds, tipsy and criminal. Black women, over all, were been tied to prostitution idea. Following the view of "colored men", we try to understand how blacks appeared in great press and police processes. We verify that black citizens were been suspected before someone proves their participation in some infraction. They were been seen without a name, but being identify solely by means of the color. Thus we try to understand how was the insertion of all black people into São Paulo's quarters, and if it had separation between "colored men" and "pretos". We understand that the strategy of the "colored men" did not occasion the desired effect because all blacks were been considered as potential suspected, independent of the nickname they attributed themselves, they were only "black" for general society (AU) | |
