Margaret Kimberley · The Mulatta in White Brazilian and US Imaginations

“The mixed Black figure, the mulatta” is “a central focus of containing and managing Blackness and upholding whiteness” in both Brazil and the United States, said Jasmine Mitchell, professor of American Studies and Media and Communication at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. Brazilian media popularize “ideologies of racial mixing with the hope that the nation will become less Black,” said Mitchell, author of the book, “Imagining the Mulatta: Blackness in U.S. and Brazilian Media.”
