- catalog abstract ""Lilia Moritz Schwarcz shows how Brazil's philosophers, politicians, and scientists gratefully accepted social Darwinist ideas about innate racial differences, yet feared the havoc such ideas would have wrought in Brazil. In the end, Brazil's intellectuals could not condemn the miscegenation which had so long been an essential feature of Brazilian society - and which lay at the very heart of the country's new national structures.
