Resumo: Following the paths opened by the critical studies of whiteness and establishing a dialogue with the bibliography on slavery, the central theme of this article is the color white. The main objective is to decipher the meanings of being white in slaveholding Brazil, during the period between the end of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. Considering that the social classification criteria in force at that time were inherited from the Portuguese Ancien Régime and modified in the daily life of local social relations, it seeks to identify some connections between the meanings of whiteness elaborated in Europe and in the Portuguese colonies in different parts of the globe, in order to, secondly, to investigate more extensively the Brazilian context. The reflections are based on various sources, such as dictionaries, royal charters, travelers' records, newspapers and blood purity statutes.

O objetivo principal é decifrar os significados de ser branco no Brasil escravista, durante o período compreendido entre o final do século XVIII e a primeira metade do século XIX. Considerando que os critérios de classificação social vigentes naquele momento foram herdados do Antigo Regime português e modificados no cotidiano das relações sociais locais, busca-se identificar algumas conexões entre os significados da brancura elaborados na Europa e nas colônias portuguesas em diferentes partes do globo para, em segundo momento, investigar mais demoradamente o contexto brasileiro. As reflexões se baseiam em fontes variadas, tais como dicionários, cartas régias, registros de viajantes, jornais e estatutos de pureza de sangue.Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade de Brasília (PPGHIS/UnB)2024-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/51739History, histories; Vol. 11 No. 21 (2023): Histórias, Histórias; 07-45história, histórias; Vol. 11 Núm. 21 (2023): Histórias, Histórias; 07-45Histoire, histoires; Vol. 11 No. 21 (2023): Histórias, Histórias; 07-45Storia, storie; V. 11 N. 21 (2023): Histórias, Histórias; 07-45História, histórias; v. 11 n. 21 (2023): Histórias, Histórias; 07-452318-172910.26512/rhh.v11i21reponame:História, Históriasinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/51739/39838Copyright (c) 2024 História, históriashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Freitas Rosa, Marcus Vinícius2024-03-29T14:36:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/51739Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hhPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/oaihistoriahistorias1@gmail.com||editorchefe.tempo@gmail.com||portaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br2318-17292318-1729opendoar:2024-03-29T14:36:10História, Histórias - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
