The multilateral political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to transmit these racial political messages. At times working collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept of "racial democracy" as a national security strategy, one meant to suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its ability to address racial inequities in the United States and Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Race relations $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Political aspects. $x Political aspects. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Graham, Jessica Lynn, 1974- $t Shifting the meaning of democracy. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2019] $z 9780520966932 $w (DLC) 2018051818 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031652.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011506.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA1ECC8A652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
