Descrição: A little more than 80 years ago one of the most important debates in the cultural and literary history of the Puerto Rico took place, thanks to a call made by the editors of the Revista Índice in 1929. The call, which was received by several writers of the so-called Generation of 30, sought to elicit responses to certain concerns that were hounding the intellectuals, including what and how Puerto Ricans are and where the Island and its culture were heading after the US invasion of 1898. Scant consideration has been given to the essays and the position in these matters of dramatist and storyteller Emilio S. Belaval, who was part of the Generation of 30 and the cultural debate of those years. Belaval's proposal is linked to the widespread belief that in Puerto Rico there are almost no blacks or "pure blacks" because "we are all the product of a mixture". The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of Belaval's essays, with a focus on how their cultural and national proposal stems from the omission of African cultures and Afro-descendants throughout the history of Puerto Rico, including a project of cultural and phenotypic whitening which, overcoming distances and explaining historical aspects, survives until today. The roots of the Belavalan project lie in the manner in which the cultural and historical discourse of the Island has uncritically promoted a "positive" idea of racial mixture that has led to a cover-up of the existence of racism. Basically, this discourse has allowed us to continue favoring cultural aspects that are considered Hispanic and people whose complexion is perceived as lighter.
