In order to understand the possibility of using literature to promote discussions about sensible topics, especially in the field of Organizational Studies, this paper sought to answer the following question: how does the book O Presidente Negro (1926) by Monteiro Lobato (1882-1948) contribute to the construction of racist socio-discursive and interdiscursive imaginaries that still exist nowadays in organizations?
