This comparative paper analyzes Brazilian and Caribbean essays in the thirties, focussed on the operations made by the intellectuals to appropriate the popular cultures. It studies three texts, relevant and nearly unexplored in comparative terms: Ainsi parla l’oncle of Haitian Jean Price-Mars (1928), Casa-grande e senzala of Brazilian Gilberto Freyre (1933), and Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar of Cuban Fernando Ortiz (1940). Specifically, these discourses are analyzed from the new meanings given to the Afro- American heritage and from the interactions they establish with the aesthetic vanguard, to break as a whole with the determinants inherited from the previous stage.
