POR UMA INDIGNAÇÃO ANTIRRACISTA E DIASPÓRICA: NEGRITUDE E AFROBRASILIDADE EM TEMPOS DE INCERTEZAS

Abstract

The article presents the discussion made by the author during the opening conference of the II Brazilian Congress of Black Researchers - II Copene - with the theme Negritude e Afrobrasilidades in times of uncertainty, held between February 27 and March 2, 2018 , at the Pampulha Campus of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Its central objective is the following reflection: for those who struggle against racism on a daily basis, times have always been uncertain given the capacity of Brazilian society to review itself and to throw away its racism. A society that conceals and keeps racism behind the discourse of racial democracy, miscegenation, and diversity, but which always reveals it publicly the more they intensify the times of recrudescence of the right and neoconservative wave. In this context, there is a central political actor in the process of antiracist struggle and re-education of society, state and university: the black movement. He is the protagonist of the struggles for emancipation in the course of Brazilian political history, from the twentieth century.
