Donald Pierson:
He earned his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1939 with a thesis on race relations based on a stay in Bahia 1935. Then remained as a professor in the School of Sociology and Politics in São Paulo until 1959. His book Negroes in Brazil, the Study of Race Contact at Bahia, 1942, based on the thesis contains mostly numeric tables classifying people by race type, concluding that although the blacks occupy the lower rungs of the social ladder Brazilian, there was not racism as defined in the United States. The author devotes two chapters to the culture of African origin.
