“…Two types of explanations are advanced in the literature: resource-based and race-based accounts. Proponents of resource-based accounts contend that racial disparities in campaign resources hinder Afro-Brazilians from winning public office (Bueno and Dunning 2017; Campos and Machado 2015, 2017; Oliveira 1995; Strijbis and Völker 2020). In contrast, advocates of race-based accounts claim that Afro-Brazilian candidates suffer racial discrimination (Fiola 1990; Janusz 2018; Mitchell-Walthour 2017).…”

“…In Brazil, which is home to the largest African descendant population outside of Africa, elected leaders at all levels of government are disproportionately white (Bueno and Dunning 2017). Some scholars attribute racial gaps in representation to resource disparities between white and Afro-Brazilian candidates (Bueno and Dunning 2017; Campos and Machado 2015, 2017; Oliveira 1995; Strijbis and Völker 2020). In contrast, others contend that voters discriminate against Afro-Brazilian candidates (Fiola 1990; Janusz 2018; Mitchell-Walthour 2017).…”

“…Some studies emphasise voter bias as a key explanation for why Afro-Brazilians are not elected in proportion to their population size (Aguilar et al, 2015a(Aguilar et al, , 2015bJanusz, 2018;Mitchell Walthour, 2018). In contrast, others indicate that racial gaps in political representation are a product of racial disparities in resources (Bueno and Dunning, 2017;Campos and Machado, 2015;Oliveira, 1995;Strijbis and Völker, 2020).…”

“…Scholars largely attribute Afro-Brazilian political underrepresentation to racial disparities in campaign resources (Bueno and Dunning 2017;Campos and Machado 2017;Janusz 2018;Strijbis and Völker 2020). The extent to which gatekeeping by party officials underlies resource differentials between Afro-Brazilian and white candidates, however, is unclear.…”
