%X around 1921 brazil heard the news that a group of african-americans intended to emigrate to this country to found a colony in the mato grosso state. this fact provoked great reactions in the chamber of deputies, in the press and on the streets and also caused a big discussion about this emigration's convenience, having the idea - now totally spread - that in brazil there was no racial prejudice. accompanying the debate that followed, this article intends to point out the inner parts of the racial democracy idea during the post-war period, from whitening ideology ideas to equality versions, which aspired to a racial democracy.
