ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author examines whether Afro-Brazilians in Salvador and Sao Paulo, Brazil, display a sense of Black linked fate and how and whether they define Black linked fate. Further, he also examines key factors that may influence perceptions of linked fate. The author's first hypothesis is that highly educated Afro-Brazilians who identify as Black (negro or preto) and acknowledge discrimination against Blacks (negros) are more likely to display a sense of Black (negro) linked fate than those who do not identify as Black. Afro-Brazilians who are less educated and do not acknowledge discrimination against Blacks (negros). Similarly, the author's second hypothesis is that highly educated Afro-Brazilians who identify as Black (negro or preto) and believe Blacks (negros) are economically worse-off than Whites are more likely to display a sense of Black (negro) linked fate. Less educated Afro-Brazilians who do not self-identify as Black (negro) and believe Blacks fare as well as Whites or better than Whites.
