RESUMO

This dissertation tries to analyse how by the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th centuries the Brazilian women, black and mulatto, were represented in some novels and poetry, A Carne by Júlio Ribeiro, O Cortiço by Aluísio Azevedo and Trovas Burlescas by Luis Gama. It emphasizes the erotization of black female bodies in disadvantage of their other human attributes and the use of the mulatto women as a weapon in search of whiteness and as an appraisal for crossbreeding or mestizaje
