Cardinal Czerny has compared COVID-19 with a magnifying glass and an X-ray; this
article reflects on the tragedy of the Brazilian experience with the COVID-19
pandemic and the deeper wounds it reveals and magnifies. Drawing from
journalistic reports, firsthand accounts, statistics, and existing academic
literature on race and racism in Brazil, this article interrogates Brazilian
racialized society and how the racial divide and economic disparities have been
exacerbated through the devastating impact of the pandemic upon a large parcel of
the Brazilian people, focusing particularly on how the pandemic magnifies and
intensifies the genocide of black and indigenous Brazilians. The article also
underscores how Bolsonaro?s strong man politics aggravates the situation, and
scrutinizes the ambiguous role of religion in the construction and exacerbation
of structural racism as well as in offering creative responses to the current
situation.
