Resumo: This article follows the path of Manoel Vicente Alves, a black man known as Dr. Jacarandá. Born in 1869 in the state of Alagoas, Brazil, where he was educated, he moved to Rio de Janeiro in 1894. During his first years in the nation’s capital, he worked in several low-paying jobs, until he took advantage of his literacy to act as a solicitor in small court cases. At a time when a bachelor’s degree in law was not a prerequisite for practicing law in Brazil, he began a career as a lawyer. While giving him popular visibility in the city, his professional activity made him a constant target of irony and personal attacks in the press. Analyzing the challenges and obstacles he faced during the First Republic thus provides insights into the singular strength that racism attained in the decades immediately after the abolition of slavery.

Nascido em 1869 em Alagoas, onde se escolarizou, mudou-se para em 1894 para o Rio de Janeiro. Nos primeiros anos na capital federal exerceu diferentes ofícios braçais, até valer-se de seu letramento para atuar como solicitador em pequenos casos judiciais. Em um momento no qual o diploma de bacharel em direito não era um pré-requisito para o exercício da advocacia, começava assim uma carreira como advogado que, ao mesmo tempo em que o projetava como um tipo popular da cidade, faria dele o alvo constante das ironias e ataques da imprensa da cidade. Analisar os desafios e obstáculos colocados à atuação de afrodescendentes como ele ao longo da Primeira República se mostra por isso uma forma de refletir sobre a força singular assumida pelo racismo nas décadas imediatamente posteriores à abolição.UFBA2021-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4317510.9771/aa.v0i64.43175Afro-Ásia; No. 64 (2021); 284-319Afro-Ásia; n. 64 (2021); 284-3191981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/43175/25532Copyright (c) 2021 Leonardo Affonso de Miranda Pereirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Leonardo Affonso de Miranda2022-06-21T15:23:15Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/43175Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2022-06-21T15:23:15Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
