Abstract

In the 1920s and 1930s, “Black X White” football matches were held in São Paulo. They were unique for opposing self-declared blacks and whites. This article interprets the meaning of self-control of violence at those matches based on the press of that time. Our sources were articles published by São Paulo newspapers from 1927 to 1931. We concluded that the absence of violence manifestations at those ritual matches was interpreted as proof of the level of development and affirmed civilized and peaceful coexistence between the main races that formed the Brazilian nation.
