From 1905, began publishing his work on the topic in the Bahia Institute magazine until 1923, the year he died. This period did not provide a favorable setting for the one who chose to study about the black in Brazil, since the discourses on racial inferiority, still had acceptance by national intellectuals. Thus, this thesis aims to understand the positioning of this author in combating scientific racism of the time and his activism in development of a national identity and, above all, Bahia, which included African descent as a fundamental element. In addition, we seek to demonstrate the main counterpoints between words that Bahian author about the racial question and the doctor Maranh?o Nina Rodrigues (1862-1906), who was considered one of the leading scholars of scientific racism in the country. Both have focused on common themes, such as the issue of slave resistance, religion and culture of African origin; developing different interpretations. Thus, we seek to also examine the extent to which Manuel Querino sought to answer his contemporary medical school. / Baiano, nascido em Santo Amaro da Purifica??o, formado em desenho pela Academia de Belas Artes, onde lecionou, e s?cio fundador do Instituto Geogr?fico e Hist?rico da Bahia, Manuel Querino (1851-1923) dedicou parte de sua carreira ? pesquisa e ? contribui??o do africano na forma??o nacional e baiana. A partir de 1905, come?ou a publicar seus trabalhos sobre o tema na revista do IGHB at? 1923, ano em que faleceu. Esse per?odo n?o oferecia um cen?rio favor?vel para aquele que escolhesse estudar acerca do negro no Brasil, j? que os discursos sobre a inferioridade racial, ainda eram aceitos por parte dos intelectuais nacionais. Dessa maneira, nessa disserta??o buscamos compreender o posicionamento desse autor no combate ao racismo cient?fico da ?poca, bem como sua milit?ncia em evidenciar uma identidade nacional e, sobretudo, baiana, que inclu?sse o afrodescendente como elemento fundamental. Al?m disso, procuramos demonstrar os principais contrapontos entre o discurso desse autor baiano a respeito da quest?o racial e o do m?dico maranhense Nina Rodrigues (1862-1906), que foi considerado um dos principais doutrinadores do racismo cient?fico no pa?s. Ambos debru?aram-se sobre temas em comum, como a quest?o da resist?ncia escrava, a religiosidade e a cultura de matriz africana; elaborando interpreta??es distintas. Desse modo, buscamos tamb?m, analisar at? que ponto Manuel Querino procurou responder ao seu contempor?neo da faculdade de Medicina.
