Some have criticized the novel for passages that are strongly racist and sympathetic to the concept of eugenics[4]. Brown University's Alexandra Montague, who has been translating the work into English, says, "If people today are outraged, it's because they should be. We know from [Lobato]'s correspondence that he sympathized with some of the extreme racial views presented in the novel." Lobato's granddaughter has also said that Lobato was interested in eugenics.[3]
i think we should remember that eugenics was considered an almost consensual scientific view before 2nd World War. the Nazis adopted ideas that were widely available in Europe and USA.

- Lobato was a controversial man, and with this novel, he has gone too far. In O Presidente Negro, he conceived a Final Solution to the Negro problem just like Hitler did with the Jews in the real life, years later. Today, he is mostly remembered in Brazil as a children's writer. - Al Lemos (talk) 13:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
