Abstract
This article aims to racialize the production of memory under the corporate-military dictatorship in Brazil, bringing to bear forms of black resistance organized during the 1960s and 1980s. The hypothesis is that the myth of racial democracy served as one of the ideological mechanisms of the regime. In this way, this period of Brazilian history inscribed a racist operational logic and further entrenched century-long practices of dehumanization.
