UNCOVERING AND EXPANDING HORIZONS: AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS AND ANTI-RACISM AS STRATEGIES FOR EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION

Abstract

This article aims to uncover the process of implementation of Affirmative Actions and Anti-racism as educational inclusion strategies. The race-gender-social class intersection leads to uncovering racism, sexism, LGBTphobia and inequalities, as well as ways to overcome them. In this exercise it is important to recognize the dialogues and negotiations between Black activism and State institutions when observing people, groups, institutions and society as a whole in movement. However, the experience is not produced only from understandings, it is also a field of conflict and tension. The article contains five parts: Inequality, racism and the cry for justice; Daily struggles, a path towards historical conquests; Affirmative actions and Racial Equality Promotion Policies; Even with difficulties, with opportunities, changes happen; Uncovering the lived experience, as an exercise to change life.

Keywords:
Affirmative Actions; Ethnic-Racial Education; Racial Quotas; Anti-racism; Racial Equality Policies
