Sumario:This article aims to analyze regional variation of racial boundaries in Brazil. From the 1950s on, classification was the subject of dispute between researchers both supporters and critics of an alleged “racial harmony” in the country. In turn, regional issues arose due to both the geographical framework of the studies and the conflicts between the “Bahia” and “São Paulo” schools, which had ideological and interpretative differences. In order to support the argument that there is heterogeneity in the classification of racial boundaries, three approaches were used: (a) the studies from the 1950s/1960s, (b) qualitative, and (c) quantitative studies, the last two being from the 1990s. Despite a persistent and spread racism, it is concluded that, in terms of classification, hypotheses from the first studies should be put into perspective, being more suitable to some regions than others. Finally, analytical possibilities and the need for regional frameworks are suggested for the study of race relations in Brazil.
