As consequências da aplicação ou da inaplicabilidade de políticas públicas antirracistas sob o olhar dos discentes: o caso do campus professor Possidônio Queiroz

Abstract

In Brazil, the educational system has historically been structured by laws, discourses and social practices that aim to prevent and neglect the presence of the black population in the school environment. However, since the 2000s, the federal government has sought to enforce laws that provide for the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture (Law No. 10.639/03; Law No. 11.645/08), and the entry and permanence of black subjects in higher education (Law No. 12.711/12), by sanctioning laws that are based on anti-racist action. However, when we look at school and university contexts, we realize that Brazilian is still based on racist discourses and practices. In this sense, the aim of this study is to discuss how the absence of anti-racist public policies and/or their ineffective application hinder the process of training black students at the Professor Possidônio Queiroz Campus. To this end, we used bibliographical research to survey theoretical discussions, documentary research to analyze the PPCs of the degree courses offered at the Possidônio Queiroz Campus, and field research using questionnaires, with the aim of dialoguing with the subjects who make up the institution's student body. As a result, through the analysis, we observed that teaching is still geared towards racist teaching, since students don't feel represented or stimulated by the education offered on campus.
