>Lusotropicalism or Luso-tropicalism was first used by Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre[1] to describe the distinctive character of Portuguese imperialism overseas,[1] proposing that the Portuguese were better colonizers than other European nations.[2]

>It was believed that because of Portugal's warmer climate, and having been inhabited by Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and several other peoples in pre-modern times, the Portuguese were more humane, friendly, and adaptable to other climates and cultures.[2]

>In addition, by the early 20th century, Portugal was by far the European colonial power with the oldest territorial presence overseas; in some cases its territories had been continuously settled and ruled by the Portuguese throughout five centuries. Lusotropicalism celebrated both actual and mythological elements of racial democracy and civilizing mission in the Portuguese Empire, encompassing a pro-miscegenation attitude toward the colonies/overseas territories. The ideology is best exemplified in the work of Freyre

The guy simply shat over the Boas' cool but ultimately unfruitful concept of cultural evolution being Darwinian, he muddled into post-modernism where "errything is relative", and I really think his tribal myths influenced his vision of the things a bit too much, to the point he became his own object and begun to pull shit out of his arse.

Oh Lawd. Now you confirmed; "everything is relative", you didn't read it at all.
Portuguese were the conquerors, and in the lack of white women plus their cosmopolitan spirit; they started breeding with natives and slaves. In order to guarantee a large portion of land.
Based on this fact, he just explains how the the African and Native cultures influenced their behaviours until what we are now.
There is no such thing described by you.

Post-modernism thinks everything is relative. He muddled/chafurdou in it. I didn't claim the "everything's relative" thing was from him. Did you get now?

And it isn't about the Amerindians or the Africans... it's about his fucking view on what he did. The guy thought all "recortes" [something SIMILAR to scientific scope] were equally as valid, and by that he invalidates himself.

That's vague as fuck, it's a way to bark something without actually stating anything.
At most "cosmopolitan spirit" in this case can be interpreted as "cosmopolitan view of the world"; still ambiguous, but on a loose way, applicable to every other colonizer.

Do you get it? The guy is trying to describe some differences on the Portuguese colonization, but those aren't differences at all, since Portugal was in the same historical mindset as the other metropolises, and thus the colonization process was similar or different depending on the local conditions, _not_ the metropolis! By that, one cannot even give the central point of Casa Grande e Senzala (being against environmental determinism) credit!

More to come.
>>
>>66267158

That is the point; he didn't.
And yes, it is about whites, blacks and amerindians; about their relationship among each other. On how each one contributed to the formation of the Brazilian character.
It is not his fucking view; it is a historical fact, based on a huge amount of compilation and research.
I don't know where you are pulling this of, it makes no sense.

>>66266996
Casa Grande e Senzala is, in a nutshell: "disregard the climatic conditions, disregard race, focus on the colonizing metropolis". Then Freyre proceed trying to "encontrar pêlo em ovo" (find minimal irrelevant differences) between Portugal and other colonizers to justify his point of view.

He begun with the hypothesis and chose the data to justify it. That's why I said he thinks the "recortes" are equally as valid, because he wasn't doing science but just... philosophy-like conjectures.

See >>66267382; it's all about the method.

If you pull out enough data, you can "prove" any hypothesis you want by discarding some by saying, "ah, this is not relevant" (in other words, "this would prove me wrong"). He wasn't fucking able to tell the difference in the colonization process between the four first Portuguese settlements! "Why?"

American colonization was different.Family of irish and british colonized the usa.In Brazil,the navigators/sailors would come to brazil and rape/fuck.natives and niggers and when they were done with it they would get back to their families in portugal.There was no marriages.Only cum dumpsters....
Of course that changed during the 1900s when portuguese families emigrated to brasil and etc.

>>66266681
Portuguese people only really settled in brazil, since it was the only place without significant native population (most indians died with european diseases). All the other colonies were trade posts (some, like angola, eventually evolved into true colonies, but the type of colonization was completely different).

Yeah... but you know the diference? Portugueses reproduced with salves and Amerindians, which influenced them. Quite the opposite from other colonies.

>That's vague as fuck, it's a way to bark something without actually stating anything.

Holy shit! I meant sex with slaves and Amerindians, and the offspring; us, the half-breed. Portugueses, because they were and are something between the the white and north-African, and because they were conquered by the muslim; an offspring of people of din'd have problem in breeding with other races emerged. That is their cosmopolitan spirit.

Holy shit! You didn't read his book at all.
Portugal colonization was completed different from the other colonies, and their historical background was complete different. Take USA as an example; how can you say they "were the same".
As I've explained above, Portugal was conquered by Muslim, and breed with them. This make them more prone to have children with any other race.
As a result of that, we were and we are not so divided by race; as it happened with USA or Australia.
It is an absurd saying something like.
And the comes the point of Casa Grande & Senzala; the coalition of many cultures, one influencing each other.

The Brits didn't bring whole families to the New World because they were the Brits; they did it because it was the best way to colonize woods, as opposed to the Atlantic forest, where you need to literally chop and burn your path inside. If Portugal colonized New England, you can be quite sure they would send Algarvian families instead, while the Brits would be sending bandeirante-like hobos to deal with the deep forest.

Also. Even with the same colonizers, the American colonization was not the same through the 13 Colonies at all. See for example the colonization differences between New England and the Dixieland*. And the same happened with the Portuguese colonization of South America.

Recife was not the same as Salvador, neither was similar to Rio de Janeiro and all three were different from São Vicente. And yet Freyre basically "nah... things happened like this in Recife, let's generalize them to the rest." [Guess where he was from.]

Mind you I am NOT claiming the metropolis played no role at all**; however, I am claiming this role is far minor when compared with other variables Freyre discards even before gathering the data.

*I'm calling the American South that way to avoid confusion.

**For example, I'm aware religion played a huge role in colonization, with Protestants and Catholics using different systems.

For future reference.Neither spain and portugal were conquered by muslims.The visigoths were.
Anyway,like I said.The type of colonization portugal/spain and anglo sid weren't different.
The anglos only atarted to colonize in the 1700s and they would bring their families.The spaniards didnt really like to colonize for some fucking reason.The portuguese method of colonization from 1500-1780s was to rape natives and fuck slaves and then fuck off back to portugal.It has nothing to do with the people having different ancestral backgrounds.
It's true though that the modern portuguese is a very diverse personality that can fit into any type of environment.
And that is somethinf cultural and historical not genetical
>>
>>66267823
Every colony was different, so in that sense they are all the same.

> Portugal was conquered by Muslim, and breed with them. This make them more prone to have children with any other race.

So did Spain, and for a longer time. And there's absolutely no reason to believe that the muslim conquest has any relation to the willingness to procreate with different races. Religion is not race.

Most american british colonies excluding canada and the us had significant british population, but nowadays are overwhelmingly black/indian, that's because the brits had children with blacks and eventually got absorbed by the black majority. The fact is that people will breed no matter what, if race mixing is frowned upon, they will try to stay in the same race, but if that's not possible they will mix.

Check Venezuela then. Or the creoles in French Louisiana. Or the Amerindian-Black-Hindu-White clusterfuck the Brits created in Guyana.

The Portuguese were no different from the other colonizers in this regard. There was a fair amount of interracial fucking in colonies from all four metropolises. (I assume the same happened with the Dutch colonies.)

>Holy shit! I meant sex with slaves and Amerindians
NOW you're talking something specific instead of "muh spirit/ghost/apparition/jebus/satan/tooth fairy!". See above.

>Portugueses, because they were and are something between the the white and north-African
For cultural, linguistic and identity purposes, the Portuguese are _white_, period. Not "something between", otherwise they would speak an Andalusi-Galician creole instead of just a Galician variety.
>>
>>66268092

>Visigoths
Meh... your forebears that reproduced with Muslims, resulting in you.

Not that simple. Portuguese made Brazil their land. Many lords of the Big House settle down in this lands; they din't just fucked them and got off. They had an harem of slaves and natives; the genesis of us.
Your forebears started colonizing us by this; breeding with slaves and natives in order to create a good amount of people to secure the land.
How do you think your country being so small conquered this huge portion of land?

And your north-African background [which helped to melt the rigid European though] helped you guys in this conquest; once race and puritanism was washed away.

>Holy shit! You didn't read his book at all.

I've been showing Freyre's methodological failure through the thread since the guy was mentioned. But yeah, sure, I didn't read it at all, otherwise I'd accept your [pseudo]sociological Bible.

>Portugal colonization was completed different from the other colonies, and their historical background was complete different. Take USA as an example; how can you say they "were the same".
The metropolis is just a detail compared with the environment.

>Portugal was conquered by Muslims
See the other post.

>As a result of that, we were and we are not so divided by race; as it happened with USA or Australia.
But not with a certain Jamaica colonized by the very same Brits.

Also, I'm pointing out Freyre's bigotry by the fact any reasoning he could use to prove "Portugal was different" applies to Castile/Spain, specially the racial mixing (since Castillians/Spaniards in general colonized lands _ROUGHLY_ in the same circumstances as the Tugas.)

>Check Venezuela then. Or the creoles in French Louisiana. Or the Amerindian-Black-Hindu-White clusterfuck the Brits created in Guyana.
But not in the same proportion, is clear the racial line in those countries and in ours; it is hard to tell which race one belongs to.

>The Portuguese were no different from the other colonizers in this regard. There was a fair amount of interracial fucking in colonies from all four metropolises.
Yes, they were. As I explained above.

>NOW you're talking something specific instead of "muh spirit/ghost/apparition/jebus/satan/tooth fairy!". See above.
Cosmopolitan spirit is a pretty clear thing; a person or culture that can live together with another one, even letting an offspring amonge those.

>For cultural, linguistic and identity purposes, the Portuguese are _white_, period. Not "something between", otherwise they would speak an Andalusi-Galician creole instead of just a Galician variety.
Not so fast. Many British and Dutch historians classified them as an intersection of north-Africa and Europeans.

You've shown nothing, just misconceptions about him and his book and absurd conclusion. He just, through a huge historical compilation, present us our historical background; which is race-mixing, and the influence of each culture in us.

First, you were saying it's about intermarriage; now, you're broadening the word to include co-existence, with intermarriage being secondary. Make your mind.

>Not so fast. Many British and Dutch historians classified them as an intersection of north-Africa and Europeans.
