Abstract
The article offers an interpretation of quota policies two decades after their implementation and one decade after Law of Quotas in Universities was passed. Its perspective is that of an anti-racist value in anthropology, one that should prompt anthropologists to commit to formulating a broad proposal for quotas along two dimensions: ethnic and racial quotas at all levels; and epistemic quotas as a mechanism for decolonization of the Eurocentric curriculum in Brazilian universities. For the ethnic and racial quotas, we offer two new models of affirmative action: quotas of preference and quotas based on active search, both conceived as a means to accelerate the inclusion of black and indigenous lecturers, considering the delay in overcoming ethnic and racial inequality in higher education. For the epistemic quotas we propose the Meeting of Knowledges project, designed to include Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian masters of knowledge as lectures in Higher Education.
