A Comissão Estadual da Verdade da Escravidão Negra no Brasil OAB/RJ 2015 -2017: contextos, limites e potencialidades na promoção da igualdade étnico racial

Abstract

This dissertation aims to point out the limits and action potentials of CEVENB OAB/RJ in promoting ethnic-racial equality and combating racism in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. The dissertation addresses the contexts of institutionalization of the State Commission for the Truth of Black Slavery in Brazil OAB/RJ, mandate 2015-2017, in relation to the International Regime to Combat Racism and Brazilian Constitutionalism in the face of silencing, the invisibility of the racial contract and the denial of the structural racism that underlies our society. The methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach through a bibliographic debate, a select and qualitative analysis of the Partial Report of CEVENB OAB/RJ. In this endeavor, it was decided to analyze the Law and the practice of justice, among the four elements that mobilize structural racism in Brazil, according to Silvio Almeida (2019). For this, the interpretive keys of the raciality/bio-necropower device, the coloniality of power and the criticism of constitutionalism were used. Finally, it was found that the CEVENB OAB/RJ can be evaluated as another important mechanism to combat racism in the national scenario.
