    The realist fictions of the Brazilian author Machado de Assis often explored religious themes through the presentation of keenly significant, minute details of everyday scenes and conversations. By contrast, the early novels of his contemporary Eça de Queirós demonstrate a preference for plotting broad dramatic climaxes. Machado and Eça coincide in exposing the unacknowledged secularization of Catholic consciences in Portugal and Brazil

    Mais de meio sĂ©culo apĂłs o preconceito racial ter se tornado o principal alvo dos movimentos urbanos pelos direitos civis nos Estados Unidos e na África do Sul, e dĂ©cadas depois do surgimento dos movimentos negros contemporĂąneos no Brasil, o conjunto de ferramentas legislativas criado no Brasil para promover o direito Ă  cidade ainda adere Ă  longa tradição brasileira de silĂȘncio acerca da questĂŁo racial. Este artigo propĂ”e iniciar uma exploração das raĂ­zes histĂłricas desse fenĂŽmeno, remontando ao surgimento do silĂȘncio sobre a questĂŁo racial na polĂ­tica urbana do Recife, Brasil, durante a primeira metade do sĂ©culo XX. O Recife foi eĂ© um exemplo paradigmĂĄtico do processo pelo qual uma cidade amplamente marcada por traços negros e africanos chegou a ser definida polĂ­tica e legalmente como um espaço pobre, subdesenvolvido e racialmente neutro, onde as desigualdades sociais originaram na exclusĂŁo capitalista, e nĂŁo na escravidĂŁo e nas ideologias do racismo cientĂ­fico. Neste sentido, Recife lança luzes sobre a polĂ­tica urbana que se gerou sob a sombra do silĂȘncio racial.More than half a century after racial prejudice became central to urban civil rights movements in the United States and South Africa, and decades after the emergence of Brazil’s contemporary Black movements, Brazil's internationally recognized body of rights-to-the-city legislation still adheres to the country's long historical tradition of racial silence. This article explores the historical roots of this phenomenon by focusing on the emergence of racial silence in Recife, Brazil during the first half of the 20th Century. Recife was and remains a paradigmatic example of the process through which a city marked by its Black and African roots came to be legally and politically defined as a poor, underdeveloped and racially neutral space, where social inequalities derived from capitalist exclusion rather than from slavery and scientific racism. As such, Recife'sexperience sheds light on the urban policies that were generated in the shadow of racial silence
