Black Negrophobia and Black Self-Empowerment: Afro-Descendant Responses to Societal Racism in São Paulo, Brazil Author: Brooks, Adia A. Date published: 2012 |
Abstract | Negrophobia, or the profound fear or hatred of black people and black culture, is a significant issue among black people. As part of a multipronged attempt to draw attention to negrophobia's prevalence in the greater world community, I developed the Multidimensional Negrophobia Index (MNI), which measures negrophobia along a four-dimensional structure. I used São Paulo, Brazil as a case study and collected a convenience sample with the help of Educafro, a black Non-Governmental Organization. I found that the nature and length of one’s relationship with Educafro had a direct correlation with respondents’ negrophobia levels in the MNI’s Anti-Black dimension. |
