O Protesto Negro No Brasil Contemporâneo (1978-2010)

Abstract

The street protest is, in this article, the privileged analytical unit to study the political history of Brazilian black movement. The analysis includes the political process since its inaugural act - which would open the curtains of a new cycle of mobilization in the nest of struggles in a democratic society strongly mobilized against dictatorship-to the institucionalization of its demands and its political leaders, who are now agents of the racial equality at the instituted public power.
