No peito e na raça: classe, raça, políticas públicas e ações afirmativas na UERJ

Abstract

This thesis aims to approach the affirmative actions in the Quotas modality at UERJ from the theoretical and conceptual assumptions of the Marxist theory, having as a chronological cut between 2008 and 2018. We will discuss the implementation of these policies, however, going through different conceptual perspectives on such measures, such as the forms and problems of inclusion of social strata previously excluded from the university, study observation, academic education and professional, political and social performance. Thus, Affirmative Policies, graduates of the system and social movements acting in this line will be part of our study, with emphasis on observing the formation and evaluation of the program. The project aims to provide possible political explanations about the quota system, its antecedents and its social developments, focusing on the political and social performance of quota students and graduates as necessary to guide the system evaluations. Given this, the thesis will investigate the issues related to the debate of races, racism, racial democracy in Brazil, building some parallels with other national states.
