Author Biography

Gilberto Freyre, Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional

Gilberto Freyre (1900-1987) was a Brazilian sociologist, historian and essayist. In his central work, Casa-Grande & Senzala (1933), he highlighted cultural and racial mixing and the role of the patriarchal family in the formation of Brazil. His trilogy also includes Sobrados e Mucambos (1936) and Ordem e Progresso (1959). He was awarded the La Madonnina International Prize, the Machado de Assis Prize from the Brazilian Academy of Letters and the Grand Cross of Santiago de Compostela, among others.

Born into a family of intellectuals in Pernambuco, he studied in the United States and Europe, influenced by sociologists and historians. Back in Brazil, he became involved with the Regionalist Movement in Recife and worked in journalism and politics. His innovative view of Brazilian society took a sociological look at everyday life and culture, differentiating himself from traditional racial and institutional analyses.

Freyre consolidated an independent career, away from academia, but with a strong presence in the media and politics. He was recognized internationally, but also criticized for his closeness to the Portuguese colonial regime. His legacy remains influential in the debate on identity and culture in Brazil, and is the subject of contemporary studies and reviews.
