DANTAS, Carolina Vianna. Brasil café com leite: intellectual debates on racial and color prejudice in the first republic. Tempo [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.26, pp. 56-79. ISSN 1413-7704.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-77042009000100004.

This article analyzes some intellectuals' formulations, coined during the First Republic, regarding miscegenation and racial prejudice. The approach focuses on the diversity of intellectual propositions within this period, which weren't restricted to racial theories or to the rejection of everything associated with blacks and mestiços. The main sources are articles published in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
