According to the postcolonial theory, the construction of a national identity in ex-colonies was significantly influenced by the notions of the colonizer about nation and civilization. It was the western society model that was broadcasted by the colonizers. Those ideas circulated in colonial societies through vehicles like literature. Through the symbolic attribution of meaning, authors, like Bernardo Guimaraes, marginalized the Negro in the project of constructing the nation and outlined their ideas about Brazil's ethnic future in their novels. We intend, with the present paper, to briefly analyze in three novels of Guimaraes, how the author imagined the future of the country and, especially, how he projected the Brazilian people.
