Abstract

This work aims to discuss the meanings that teachers and managers of the Colégio Pedro II attach to the racial dimension of policies implemented in the institution from the obligation established by Law 12. 711/12, and also analyzes how these professionals identify the black students of the educational establishment. It presents an academic research on affirmative action in the period 2011 to 2014, realized at the Banco Digital de Teses e Dissertações do Instituto Brasileiro em Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT), aiming to analyze how the issue has been discussed in the Postgraduate. In the study, 97 productions were found, being 68 dissertations and 29 thesis with diferent focalizations. We verified that there is a variety of issues related to affirmative action, but the cut "quota policy" was dominant in different areas of knowledge. The field that held the largest quantity of production was Education, with 44 productions, 30 dissertations and 14 theses. In this area, the theme "Black and Higher Education" prevailed. Added to it were carried semi-structured interviews with seven teachers and three managers of the Colégio Pedro II. For the treatment of empirical material produced from the interviews was used content analysis, with the help of the Atlas.ti software. The respondents said that they were mostly in favor of the quota system, although it has registered a criticism against the racial perspective. Otherwise, was highlighted the work of the Núcleo de Estudos sobre Afro-brasileiros (NEAB) to build a positive racial identification
