A cor de quem escreve narra a história de quem lê: jornalismo negro no Brasil, história e relações com os movimentos negros

Abstract

This research aims to conceptualise and characterise the black press (jornalismo negro) as a way of producing journalism by/for/about the black population, with intrinsic relations to the black movement in Brazil, be they political, discursive or cultural. For the analysis, nine black newspapers were selected as representative of the political-racial discourses of the centenary history of the black press, in Brazil. The research also examines the curriculum of journalism courses in the country, the history of Brazilian journalism and presents a list of some 180 black newspapers in the history of Brazilian journalism. The study is based on a qualitative analysis according to Foucault's (1996) discourse analysis. The aim is to understand which discourses have emerged, remained, faded and returned in the history of the Brazilian black press. In doing so, the research aims to historically underscore the discursive relations between the black press and the black movement in Brazil, to contribute to the study of journalism and the history of journalism in the country, and to combat epistemicide (Carneiro, 2005).The dissertation also highlights the silencing of black journalism and the discursive control of the journalistic institution over what is or is not journalism. Therefore, the research aims to understand this journalism as a source of memory and justification of the Brazilian Black Movement and, finally, to present it as part of such a movement.
