Classe média negra universitária: por um projeto de sociedade afirmativa

Abstract

This paper proposes to think how black, economically privileged subjects; position themselves in relation to affirmative actions and the democratization of public higher education. In order to reach our points of analysis, we constructed four narratives with self-declared black and middle class subjects who were involved in some anti-racist policy and / or group. What we can perceive is that the experience of being black and belonging to medium economic contexts resizes the reading about quota policies beyond reserving vacancies for popular subjects in higher education institutions. In this direction, the subjects researched situate affirmative action as an economic policy; but above all, an academic-political production that moves from the white-centered elitism of the university. The affirmative policy, thus, is read as an anti-racist project for the university and society as a whole.
