| Summary: | Based on gender and race markers, this text analyzes representations of black men in the magazine Educação Physica between 1939 and 1944, when Francisco de Assis Hollanda Loyola was its technical editor. Issues 34-81 were analyzed under the theoretical/methodological assumptions of Cultural History. In a period in which race, people, and nation were understood almost as synonyms, Educação Physica conveyed representations that portrayed black men according to their physical strengths and their moral weaknesses. “Naturally” prone to addiction and manual labor, black men’s depictions denied their racial/ethnic characteristics, emphasizing white bodies’ attributes as their effect. |
