The primary sources used for the present thesis consisted of newspapers published between 1892 and 1930 that were intended for the afro-descendant population of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Known in Brazilian historiography as the Black Press, the periodicals gave us the possibility to reflect on the political participation of the afro-descendant population in the history of the state. Thus, in the first chapter we focused on a dialogue with the reception of the categories of “post-abolition”. “post-colonialism” and “African Diaspora” in Brazil, as well as on the importance of the Black Movement to the emergence of the recent historiography, which began to establish additional roles for the afro-Brazilians in the history of the country. Further along in the thesis, we used the concepts of ethnicity, social memory, and double consciousness, among others, to understand the process of social insertion and mobility of the journalists and editors. They used the newspapers as a means of communication with what was happening in the state, in the country and in the United States of America, received social recognition as ethnic leaders and set strategies for overcoming racism and prejudice.
