O legado da militância negra pós 64 para a democratização das relações étnico raciais

Abstract

The documents that examine the period of military government in Brazil (1964-1988) do not usually examine the black movements and their militancy, which acted in this period fighting against racism and engaging in the fight for redemocratization process in the country. These militants, some of them from a small black middle class, were mostly young university students connected to student movements, cultural movements and leftist parties. The object of this research is the analysis of the presence and actions of black militancy during this period and its contribution to the studies of race relations and the democratization of education. This research, with the aid of the documents found in the National Archives, conducts an analysis of the performance of this intellectuality in the construction of black movements and the institution of a democratic society. The analysis starts from its report about the strategies of the performance of black movements in this period of political repression, pointing out and analyzing the legacy of the political performance of these intellectuals for the contemporary black movements and the Brazilian education.
