“…The major contradictions of a long process of elitist modernisation, since the early twentieth century, and the lack of genuine democratisation of civil society, notwithstanding the formal achievements in the text of the 1988 Constitution, led to an institutional rupture in 2016, which was followed by the appropriation of government positions by hyper-conservative politicians and members of the military (Akkoyunlu & Lima, 2022;Bin, 2022;Valle, 2022). The consolidation of a proto-fascist regime in 2018 demonstrated the demobilisation of the political opposition and the profits that can be earned from the systematic attack on social movements (notably the indigenous movement) and capture of public assets and state funds (Carnut, 2021;Ricupero, 2022;Webber, 2020).…”

The article investigates how racist trends have permeated Brazilian history and geography. It discusses the persistence of racism and indifference in the early post-independence and republic periods. Past relations continued to systematically impact the present in an always unfinished process of nation-building based on spurious treatments of socio-spatial differences. The discussion makes use of emblematic literature books and controversial interpretations of progress and national identity. One of the most relevant examples of the contested basis of national development, examined in the second part of the text, is the trajectory of indigenous peoples. The main reference is the Guarani-Kaiowa indigenous nation, which has been relentlessly impacted by an aggressive instrumentalisation of difference through the indifference of an agribusiness-based regional society. Their contemporary experience exposes multiple violence accumulated over time and through the production of an uneven space by explorers, missionaries, colonists, public authorities and, eventually, the export-oriented agribusiness sector. Despite all racist violence, the voice, consciousness and agency of indigenous peoples represent the most acute challenge to the status quo and the main source of creative politics in the country today.

“…No caso do Brasil, essa agenda foi aprofundada por uma ruptura institucional, ocorrida em 2016, que redundou em reformas regressivas sobre a regulação do mercado de trabalho, as despesas fiscais do Estado e sobre a participação do crédito bancário público no sistema de financiamento do país (Bin, 2022;Santana, 2018;Bastos, 2017). Foi desse ponto de partida que o governo Bolsonaro iniciou seu programa de privatizações e a adoção de novos marcos regulatórios de infraestrutura orientados para a "revolução do acionista".…”
