Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between the perspective over the black body and football in Brazil. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, we demonstrate how black body’s social construction in sports reveals a face of Brazilian racism. In addition, we seek to analyze the professionalization process of sport practice in consonance with urbanization and industrialization in Brazilian society.
