In this nation of cloudy horizons, successive attacks have been made on formulations about national identity that seek to articulate a national past and future open to diversity. In place of an identity construction that claims to be plural, the horror of exclusivist and supremacist historical theses about what nationality would be resurfaces on the Brazilian horizon. |
