Lutando por novos espaços, construindo novos saberes: uma análise da política de cotas raciais no Brasil, 2013-2017

Abstract

The research adopted the bibliographic review as a method, taking as a starting point the dissertations which were in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES – Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel. Was indicated the path that the scholars took to talk with their environment of research from these academic productions as well as abstracts. The publication and implementation of Law No. 12,711 / 2012 and the regulations resulting from it were also considered as the selection criteria for the time studied - 2013 to 2017. The year 2013 was chosen due to the celebrations of the ten years of Law nº 10.639 /2003, which establishes the obligation to include in the curriculum of public and private schools the teaching of the History of Africa and Africans, the struggle of blacks in Brazil, the Brazilian black culture and the black in the formation of national society. Law No. 10,639 /2003 was amended by Law No. 11,645 / 2008. The year 2017 was chosen to close the fiveyear interval, and also, due to the discussions that were raised, about the programs for the implementation of Affirmative Actions in some universities, which began to take stock of the performance of students who joined public universities. through these legal provisions. Law No. 12,711 / 2012, called the “Quota Law”, established an affirmative action guaranteeing the reservation, through a selective process, for federal public universities, not only for selfdeclared black and brown people. This legal provision also reserved enrollment in undergraduate courses for indigenous people, people with disabilities and students who have completed high school in a public school. In Brazil, the struggles for affirmative action policies were made public by the Social Movements, seeking to promote opportunities or other guarantees for individuals belonging to specific groups which are subject to discrimination. As a theoretical and methodological support: Nogueira (2006), who work with the concepts of brand and origin prejudice; Andrews (1997), to understand the history of the concept of Racial Democracy, and Costa (2010), refuting the application of the same concept in Brazilian society. The result of this study has shown, based on the summaries observed, na understanding of the confirmation of the hypothesis that the spaces for the production of knowledge have not focused sufficiently on Law No. 12,711 / 2012 yet, in the period from 2013 to 2017, confusing it with Law No. 10,639 / 2003. In the legislative process of the Quotas Law, we identified the initial intention of bonuses for the formation of an academic elite, participation of expressions of the black movement in the debate and the articulations and disputes of the Third World Conference, 2001, and in the construction of the Quotas Law, we confirm that the heteroidentification procedure, can and should guarantee the occupation of reservations and diversity in the public university.
