"E aí negão!?": exclusão,apropriação e resistência negra na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande-Campus de Cajazeiras/PB.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the sociocultural and educational implications of black issues in academic spaces. It takes as reference, the experience of five black students of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), Câmpus of Cajazeiras / PB. The study is an ethnographic research, in order to provide an immersion in the experiences of these subjects in academic spaces. To do so, it uses investigative procedures such as participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The research results point out that the university constitutes a contradictory institution, where the persistence of racist and discriminatory practices coexists with a limited, but important, fomentation of the discussions about the ethnic-racial theme in the formal curriculum. The university also appears as a relevant space in the life of black university students, since, through "tactics" of group identity and identity affirmation, (re) signify their academic daily life, based on affirmative policies of exaltation and black resistance.
