Political and cultural current debates tend to focus on expressions that define Brazil as o país do carnaval, thus ironically evoking the debut novel, in 1931, by Jorge Amado; or even as o país do futuro, sarcastically alluding to the essaypublished by Stefan Zweig in 1941. Anyway the success of these two different works helped to highlight significant questions even more recognizable nowadays if observed in the light of the decolonial thinking and towards a perspective of
autonomy related to categories and stereotypes of European heritage. In fact the first one theorizes the mental and geographical gap between Brazilian Carnival features and old European nicknames. The second one anticipates the peculiarity of the Brazilian paradigm with its racial miscegenation as a presupposition for a possible coexistence, just while the World War II catastrophes were showing to the world the folly, among others, of racist logics.
