Black People and Higher Education in the beginning of the 20th century: considerations on the positioning of the newspaper Progresso (1928-1930)

Abstract: This paper intends to analyze how black intellectuals from the beginning of the 20th century positioned themselves regarding higher education, considering not only the formal access of black people to this stage of education and the professions and material and symbolic benefits to which it gives access, but also the informal ways of acquiring and manipulating the ‘scholarly culture’. For this purpose, the publications of the newspaper Progresso from São Paulo between the years of 1928 and 1930 and available for consultation online in the IEB-USP archive were analyzed.
