This article seeks to present in a synthetic and panoramic way the social spaces occupied by black men in the Brazilian educational system and its numerous challenges. Methodologically, without sticking to any major specific theoretical framework, we used two approaches: quantitative research that focused on the educational trajectory of this group from basic education to graduate school, and qualitative research, with some concrete examples of affirmative actions concerned with the relationship between gender (male and female), race and education. In general, we understand that research, especially quantitative research that works with the racial and male gender profile, is dispersed, making it difficult to have a more general and organized look at the trajectories and difficulties that black men face in education. In this way, it does not gain density in the public debate, and repercussions in educational policies. Given this configuration, we asked the following question: Would it be legitimate to adopt affirmative actions aimed primarily or exclusively at black men in education. KEYWORDS: Education. Male Black youth. Affirmative Actions.
