Notes about black men in Rodolfo Xavier's narratives for the newspaper A Alvorada (Pelotas, Post-Abolition)

Abstract

The aim of the article is to talk about the black men who were chosen by the writer Rodolfo Xavier (1876-1964), in his writings for the black racial press “A Alvorada”, by Pelotas. Attentive also to the choices, intentions and senses of Rodolfo Xavier's preference for specific subjects in his textual productions. Thus I seek to contribute to the appreciation of the ideas and thinking of black men generated from alternative spaces, such as the black press. For the realization of this research, the studies developed by Beatriz Loner about the working class of Pelotas and the post-abolition studies are fundamental references.
