The research of this thesis investigates the mediations of the categories of race and class in the model of implementation of social quotas at UFES for assessing graduation courses between 2006 and 2012, as part of the affirmative actions of this university. Such model, as to include African-Brazilian population in university education in Espírito Santo, included strictly the criteria of income and public schools origin, not adopting the ethnic-racial criteria that contemplates specifically black people and Indians. Given this, the author means to support the theory that considering the pattern of the Brazilian racial relations that produce asymmetries among groups with distinct racial marks, in the case of black people and white people, racial differences have operationalization its offensive and powerful offensive motto, at the same time that the isolated class is insufficient in the overcome and understanding of Brazil's racial problem. Therefore, in the adoption of policies that fight racial inequality in university education, it would also be relevant the use of measures ethnically referenced. Authors like Hall (2008) and Fraser (2006), when they bring the articulated and bifocal dimension of the symbolic and economical injustices; they allow the understanding of the complementarity and the dynamic between them, moving from classist determinisms that rend racism as oppressing instrument in social relations. As specific objectives, it considers: Understanding the process of construction of the model of quotas at Ufes, for entering graduation courses implemented in 2008, under the perspective of the debate of the relation between race and class; Analyzing the affirmative action’s policies in response to the historical demands of the African-Brazilian in the context of Brazilian society; Analyzing the position of the professors and students of the graduation course at Ufes facing the entrance of quota students, specially African-Brazilian; and analyzing the relation of the classist policies, in the specific case of social quotas, in the overcoming of racial asymmetries. It adopts the methodological procedures and dialectic methodology of research considering all the contradictions between race and class in the process of implementation of affirmative actions at Ufes. As a research tool, it uses interviews with faculty members and students, quota and non-quota, of the most various courses of the University, as to documents relating to the theme. The result aims at the “oxygenation” of the University after a larger entry of black people and poor people, especially in the courses considered as being more of the elite, because the quotas operate a pedagogical dimension of enlarging social bio diversity, bringing 12 other demands, other affections, other logics of world and conceptions of society to the only public University in the Espírito Santo. It indicates that the discriminatory mechanisms and interpersonal and institutional stigmatizers, living in the context of social quotas and explicit in the research do not derail the importance of the affirmative actions, because they aim at making the University rethink and give new meaning to its curriculums and homogenizing pedagogical actions with the purpose of enlarging the idea of inclusion and the democratization of its spaces. It reiterates that race, in its political and cultural edges; it is operative in a relational and independent way to the social class in the context of the creation of Brazilian´s racial asymmetries, in a manner that the action of one does not deny the action of the other, even ion the relation between them. It emphasizes the importance of the understanding and of the materiality of the affirmative actions as acknowledgement policies that would fight symbolic inequalities at Ufes. It points at the relevance of student assistance, coupled with the quotas, as an economic policy that would deal with the material difficulties or absences of the students, especially the quota students. It concludes that ethnic-racial quotas at Brazilian Universities are legitimate fighting tools for education. A social right of opportunity of the groups historically broken up from principles that constitute the emancipation, of citizenship, of human rights, of social justice, of equality and difference.
