Abstract

<doi>10.12957/tecap.2014.16250

The parades of Rio's samba schools in the 1960s were inserted as part of the cultural transformations, revealing clashes, fights and disputes by political and social spaces. The purpose of this article is to understand how the theme of black culture was dealt with by the samba schools during the period. The plots, sambas and narratives of the history of black people in Brazil were collected based on published pieces from Jornal do Brasil. Schools were cultural associations tuned into the debates of militancy, although seen as folklore groups, being ignored by the leaders and organizations, reflecting a major gap in the historiography of the Brazilian black movement in the 1960s.
