A inserção dos jovens da comunidade Vaca Morta no ensino superior e o programa Bolsa Permanência para quilombolas.

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the impacts of the Bolsa Permanência Program on the training of young people from the remaining community of quilombo Vaca Morta in the municipality of Diamante-PB. We conducted a qualitative research, with a semi-structured interview with 8 university students from the aforementioned community who receive the scholarship permanence. We reflect on how this affirmative action policy contributes to the inclusion of young blacks in university. To support the analysis it was necessary to make a historical rescue of blacks and blacks from the slavery process and their abolition, as well as the blacks were treated by post-slavery society and state, listing issues of racism and discrimination, lack of actions and policies public policies. In addition, we discuss the struggles of the black movements for their rights, and the creation of quota policies and the Bolsa Permanência Program as a reflection of these struggles, since the central point addressed in the work is the access of the black to the university, and how the politics of student assistance and quota policies have contributed to the insertion and permanence of young blacks in universities and to guarantee, even in a minimalist way, their right to have a professional education.
