COROSSACZ, Valeria Ribeiro. Accounts of Whiteness from a Group of White Men in Rio de Janeiro. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2014, n.105, pp.43-64. ISSN 2182-7435. https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.5790.
This article presents data gathered from research on whiteness among upper-middle class men in Rio de Janeiro who define themselves as white. The research project builds on the theoretical framework of Critical Whiteness Studies and aims to analyze whiteness in order to develop the study of racism in Brazilian society. In extracts from the interviews, some men referred to their black nanny to define their whiteness, even though whiteness was considered socially invisible during the interview. The article therefore focuses on how these men experienced whiteness through the interlinks between color, gender and class hierarchies.
