As acusações “haitianistas” na racializada sociedade brasileira da primeira metade do Dezenove

Abstract

The present article aims to discuss the characteristics that permeate the accusations of a “Haitianist” nature, that is, directly linked to the supposed remaining ideals of the Haitian Revolution - mainly, the extermination of the white race - under the perception of a racialized brazilian society in the eighteenth century. Formerly, it's necessary to understand the concepts of race and racialization, in addition, of course, to a deeper understanding of the events that took place in the second independent nation of the Americas, Haiti. Finally, some examples of the Haitian influence in different brazilian social strata are shown.
