A imprensa negra do Rio Grande do Sul e alguns de seus homens

Abstract

The proposition of the text is to highlight who were the men who were behind the elaboration of racial newspapers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The context of the study surrounds the post-abolition, focusing on the black press that circulated in the capital, Porto Alegre, and in an inner city, Pelotas. The latter, during the empire had more economic prestige than the capital. However, Pelotas in the twentieth century came to live with the economy stagnant. The main source, the black press, allows many possibilities of analysis, one of them is to know their interlocutors. Briefly highlighting the experiences of these men, they become essential to understand both their trajectories and their writing.
