An examination of how racial and gender hierarchies are intertwined in Brazil.
Examina como o ambiente educacional organiza seu cotidiano para a presença do preconceito e da discriminação racial. Referencia a África, os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs), as questões sobre letramento e até uma inevitável comparação com o modelo norte-americano que envolve relações raciais e educação. Denuncia práticas racistas que minam a auto-estima e contribui para iniciativas que assumam uma educação anti-racista.
This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date book on the increasingly important and controversial subject of race relations in Brazil. North American scholars of race relations frequently turn to Brazil for comparisons, since its history has many key similarities to that of the United States. Brazilians have commonly compared themselves with North Americans, and have traditionally argued that race relations in Brazil are far more harmonious because the country encourages race mixture rather than formal or informal segregation. More recently, however, scholars have challenged this national myth, seeking to show that race relations are characterized by exclusion, not inclusion, and that fair-...
DO SILÊNCIO DO LAR AO SILÊNCIO ESCOLAR é a interpretação crítica e analítica de uma pesquisa feita pela professora Eliane Cavalleiro sobre a discriminação das crianças negras em sala de aula. Os resultados são chocantes e mostram inúmeras situações de preconceito racial ocorridas durante as aulas.

Reimagining Black Difference and Politics in Brazil examines Black Brazilian political struggle and the predicaments it faces in a time characterized by the increasing institutionalization of ethno-racial policies and black participation in policy orchestration. Greater public debate and policy attention to racial inequality suggests the attenuation of racial democracy and positive miscegenation as hegemonic ideologies of the Brazilian nation-state. However, the colorblind and post-racial logics of mixture and racial democracy, especially the denial and/or minimization of racism as a problem, maintain a strong grip on public thinking, social action, and institutional practices. Through a focus on the epistemic dimensions of black struggles and the anti-racist pluri-cultural efforts that have been put into action by activists, scholars, and organizations over the past decade, Alexandre Emboaba Da Costa analyzes the ways in which these politics negotiate as well as seek to go beyond the delimited understandings of racial difference, belonging, and citizenship that shape the contemporary politics of inclusion.
