| Summary: | Tanning, a fashion that originated in Europe and the United States in the early 1920s, soon thereafter took hold at carioca beaches. Yet, in Rio, the new practice had complex implications for notions of color and race. This article, based on sources from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, presents a first attempt to analyze those implications. It also places the rise of tanning at carioca beaches within the context of the major changes that predominant racial ideologies underwent in Brazil in those decades. That context gave tanning potential meanings that it would not have had in either Europe or the United States at the time. |
