In the first days of the new year,a photo from Rio’s traditional fireworks show
on Copacabana Beach has spread like wildfire on Brazilian social networks
—
a shot of
a little boy,alone,wading into the water,separated from the joyful crowd celebrating
and taking pictures behind crossed,he stares up wide-eyed and open- mouthed
at the fireworks in the sky.
Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9,the
image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of
shares and comments on social media,newspaper articles,blog posts and a national
debate about race,class and some,it’s just a photo of a young black
boy attracted by the spectacular New Yea
r’s Eve need to stop
thinking that all black boys,without shirts on,are abandoned,sad,alone and
others,the image is emblematic
of Brazil’s severe inequality.

About half of Brazil’s population of 200 million identify as mixed
-
race/black,second only to black and mixed-raced Brazilians are minor in
academia,politics and leadership than 10 percent of Brazil’s Congress is
black,and just 18 percent of leadership roles are held by Afro- Brazilians.
For Luiz Augusto Campos,a sociologist at Rio State University,the wide- ranging
interpretations of the photo,as well as the explosive debate it generated,represents
a changing tide for Afro-
Brazilians.“The fact that it’s become so problematic is a
reflection of a complex t
ransition in terms of race in Brazil,” he said,adding that
20 or 30 years ago,the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it
strengthened negative stereotypes (
刻板印象
).
“These changes are still relatively small in Brazil,but they have the l
ong-term
objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty,” Campos said.
