This research aims to describe and interpret speeches of ex-scholarship diplomats and diplomacy candidates (candidates for scholarship and scholarship holders) about their perceptions regarding the Affirmative Action Program (AAP) "Vocation for Diplomacy Award Scholarship" of the Rio Branco Institute (IRBr), an agency of the Ministry of External Relations, and the impact of the AAP in their professional and academic careers. The research is based on the assumption that there is an underrepresentation of black people in the diplomatic service and that the Affirmative Action Program does not place them on a par with white people to compete for the Entrance Examination for Diplomatic Career (EEDC).In addition to searching bibliographies of works that address the topic, public notices both from the AAP as the EEDC of the last ten years were studied. For the data analysis of this thesis, we used Nancy Fraser s Theory of Justice, from the perspectives of the three dimensions of justice (redistribution, recognition and representation) and Studies of Race Relations, through empirical data, presentation of concepts related to race, and affirmative action. For the development and organization of the study, we used the method of Depth Hermeneutics of John Thompson and the set of techniques for content analysis of Laurence Bardin. For empirical data collection, ten semi-structured interviews were performed with men and women, aged 24-44, candidates for scholarship, scholarship holders, ex-scholarship holders who passed the EEDC, and ex-scholarship holders who did not pass the examination. From the interviews, we found that the AAP was crucial for some of the respondents to decide to pursue a diplomatic career, and, to others, the scholarship meant the pursuit of the fulfillment of an old dream that seemed unattainable. It was also found that studying for the scholarship or being a scholarship holder was very important for the expansion of their professional and academic horizons, even for people who did not become diplomats. Regarding Nancy Fraser s theory, on the scope of the three dimensions necessary to obtain justice, it was considered, through the speech of the respondents, that the Program does not cover all three dimensions. Since the redistributive dimension provides financial opportunity to people who, without aid, could not perform the necessary training for the examination, the amount offered does not guarantee that black people are on a par with white people to compete. The recognition dimension leaves much to be desired in the view of most of the respondents, since actions that aim to transform the prejudiced conceptions related to black people are not carried in the prestigious space. More over, the limitation on the recognition dimension directly affects the representation dimension, since not always black diplomats are recognized as such in the places they are
