Afro-Brazilian People
Afro-Brazilians (; ), also known as Black Brazilians (), are Brazilians of total or predominantly Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most multiracial Brazilians also have a range of degree of African ancestry. Brazilians whose African features are more evident are generally seen by others as Blacks and may identify themselves as such, while the ones with less noticeable African features may not be seen as such. However, Brazilians rarely use the term "Afro-Brazilian" as a term of ethnic identity and never in informal discourse. '' Preto'' ("black") and ''pardo'' ("brown/mixed") are among five ethnic categories used by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), along with '' branco'' ("white"), '' amarelo'' ("yellow", ethnic East Asian), and '' indígena'' (indigenous). In the 2022 census, 20.7 million Brazilians (10,2% of the population) identified as ''preto'', while 92.1 million (45,3% of the population) identified as ''pardo'', together making up 55.5% of Brazil's ...

2022 Brazilian Census
The 2022 Brazilian Census was the thirteenth national population census in Brazilian history, and took place on 1 August 2022. It was intended to take place in 2020, but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and budgetary issues. Delays Originally, the census, being carried out decennially, was supposed to take place in mid-2020. However, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics changed the date to 2021. However, in early 2021, the budget of census was cut from around 2 billion Brazilian real, reais to 240 million, roughly 12% of the original budget. The census was pushed again, with Brazil's Supreme Court ruling that the government had to perform the census in 2022. While the original reference date was 1 June 2022, the IBGE changed the date to 1 August 2022, due to the change in the company that would hire the workers.

Brazilians
Brazilians (, ) are the citizens of Brazil. A Brazilian can also be a person born abroad to a Brazilian parent or legal guardian as well as a person who acquired Brazilian nationality law, Brazilian citizenship.

As a result, the degree to which Brazilian citizens identify with their ancestral roots varies significantly depending on the individual, the Regions of Brazil, region of the country, and the specific ethnic origins in question. Most often, however, the idea of ethnicity as it is understood in the anglophone world is not popular in the country. After the colonization of Brazil by the Portuguese Brazilians, Portuguese, most of the 16th century, the word "Brazilian" was given to the Portuguese merchants of the Brazilwood tree, designating exclusively the name of such profession, since the inhabitants of the land w ...

Black Movement In Brazil
''Movimento Negro'' (or Black Movement) is a generic name given to the diverse Afro-Brazilian social movements that occurred in 20th-century Brazil, particularly those movements that appeared in post-World War II Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Since slaves were treated like private property, escapes and insurrections threatened the social order along with causing economic harm. These insurrections became the object of violent repression not only by the ruling class, but also by the state and its agents.
