Resumo: This article focuses on comparing racism in South Africa and Brazil by analyzing eight novels written between 1909 and 1953 that discuss racism. The aim is to examine the phenomenon in these two societies and the way it was reflected in the novels of two white authors: Alan Paton and Jorge Amado, and two black authors: Afonso Henrique Lima Barreto and Peter Henry Abrahams. It explores the authors’ environment and their relationship with their countries’ racial policies. The influence of being raised in a particular class or racial group has determined their approach to social themes just as much as their political commitment. It is a comparative study which proposes the use of literary works as sources for cultural history.

A idéia central é identificar formas de representação das relações raciais nos dois países e como estas se refletem nos romances de dois autores brancos: Alan Paton e Jorge Amado, e dois autores negros: Lima Barreto e Peter Abrahams. São examinadas questões relacionadas à exclusão econômica e social, bem como as ambigüidades e contradições que permeiam a miscigenação nos dois países. Pontos de diferenciação e de semelhança são clarificados quando se associa a literatura à historiografia, tomando as novelas imagens espelhadas do cotidiano e seus conflitos. O estudo discute ainda o uso da literatura como fonte para a história cultural.
