Abstract

The paper problematizes an important historiographical question as for the judgments one does toward people and facts of the past. It analyzes a legal discussion in the context of fragments of Monteiro Lobato’s works, a Brazilian writer, ostensibly progressive, who was charged, however, of expressing racist ideas.
