Abolition – press – caricature – racism – whiteningAbstract
The abolitionist campaign (1870-1888) was characterized by intense political disputes in the main urban centers of Brazil, with strong participation from the press. Even though its reach was limited due to its artisanal nature and the high rate of illiteracy recorded in the 1872 Census, many publications focused on the cause appeared, that galvanized public opinion and the slaves themselves. This work focuses on the role of the illustrated press and its most prominent author, the Italian-Brazilian caricaturist Angelo Agostini (1843-1910). After May 13, 1888, the author, in addition to other abolitionists, revealed themselves to be racist and prejudiced towards black people. To understand the apparent paradox, it is necessary to delve into what white abolitionism was, the objective causes of liberation, the formulations on whitening and the situation of black people after Abolition.
