SUMMARY:

 

This dissertation, linked to the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFC), has the main objective of analyzing public policies of affirmative action for the black population in higher education in Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay as instruments that promote social inclusion. With a qualitative, bibliographical and documental approach, this research is characterized as analytical-descriptive and interpretative (STAKE, 2011), enabling the interlocution between the objective and the subjective, helping to elucidate research questions that numbers would not be able to. Data were collected on government websites, with a view to understanding the implementation of legislation regarding affirmative action policies, and on the websites of international organizations. Through the state of knowledge we located research and theoretical basis on the discussion presented in this dissertation. The analyzes were organized through triangulation between the policy documents of the selected countries, the Multilateral Organizations, theoretical framework and results of previous research. In the non-Eurocentric perspective, we dialogue with Munanga (2004; 2015); Quijano (1992; 2005); Crenshaw (2002); Fanon (1980; 1979; 2008); Wedderburn (2007); Saints (2014); Olaza (2018; 2019), among others that helped to understand the historical and social contexts of the countries surveyed. As for the results, we found that black social movements were instrumental in the implementation of policies for the black population, and we observed the influence of international organizations (UN, BIRD, IMF, ECLAC) on ethnic-racial policies in the analyzed countries. If, on the one hand, the agendas have a neoliberal nature, for the black population it means that guidelines raised by them some time ago began to be discussed on the world stage, promoting social visibility, understanding the existence of the black population in Latin America, beyond Brazil , Colombia and Cuba. Regardless of the country analyzed, all of them suffered and still suffer from the whitening measures and exclusions to which black populations were subjected. We conclude that Brazil became a reference in Latin America with the enactment of Law n. 12,711/2012, due to the scope of the legislation and pioneering spirit in its implementation. Following the Brazilian example, in 2013 Uruguay enacted Law n. 19.122/2013 covering educational and work contexts, in addition to guarantees with a view to permanence. However, in Colombia, the reservation of vacancies is not mandatory, since institutions have autonomy to contemplate or not contemplate affirmative actions. The main fight is for there to be legislation for AAs that guarantee the minimum number of vacancies and coverage throughout the national territory, which in itself would already represent significant advances also in terms of permanence. We noticed that in the countries analyzed, the remnants of colonialism are still present, but there are also achievements such as public policies that guarantee historical reparation, access and permanence in HEIs. In this sense, each country has different struggles that intersect in different historical moments. However, the movement of constant reflection, struggles and claiming rights so that public policies aimed at black people do not stagnate and continue to advance, is present in the three countries.
