"Brazilians know each other, feel and behave as one person, belonging to the same ethnicity. This unity does not mean, however, any uniformity. Man has adapted to the environment and created different ways of life. Urbanization has contributed to standardize Brazilians, without eliminating their differences.

More than a simple ethnic group, Brazil is a nation people, based on their own territory to live their destiny in it. " Darcy Ribeiro
