- Abstract
This article proposes a new framework for the principal book of sports journalist Mário Filho, O negro no futebol brasileiro (1947). It is arguedthat the internal arguments of this book, which is considered a "classic" of Brazilian football memory, can only be understood considering the writer's whole body of works, especially Histórias do Flamengo (1945), which predates it and is usually disregarded in academic analyses. Reviewing this book, a celebration of Flamengo's 50th anniversary, allows us to identify the main narrative lines, both in form and content, that would enshrine Mário Filho two years later. Concurrently to this comparison, the impact of both works in the 1960s is also analyzed, a moment when journalistic and literary critics led to reissues of both works, being issued by renowned publishers in the cultural and intellectual scenario of the period. The conclusion is a reaffirmation of the need for a rereading of Mário Filho's body of works, to more accurately understand not only the prolific character of his bibliographic production over the decades, but the steps of construction of a journalistic and literate project that was added to the decanting of the "national-popular" tradition in Brazil during the 1940s and 1960s.
