Resumo: How accurate is it to coin affirmative action policies in Brazilian universities as “misplaced ideas”, alien to contours and patterns of sociability seen as “typically Brazilian”? All in all, there are two kinds of perceptions which, despite their contrasting differences, rest on the image of this society as an exceptional case: on the one hand, one refers to Brazil as a scenario in which racial relations are exempt from the frictions and roughness much common in other societies; on the other, one contends that racial conflicts and prejudices here are rather veiled and obscure, hence harder to identify. The article aims at the following debate: is such a thesis of the “Brazilian exceptionality” ”“ which relies on the notion of racial democracy as one of its main pillars ”“ capable of grasping the recent experiences of affirmative action in Brazil? While looking into the social, political and historical processes that ushered in the formulation and implementation of this set of policies, we intend to bring to light some of the theoretical and methodological challenges faced by such thesis.

Em linhas gerais, há duas percepções que, a despeito de contrastantes, apoiam-se sobre a imagem do Brasil como um caso marcadamente excepcional: por um lado, fala-se deste como um cenário isento das asperezas e fricções raciais observadas em outros países; por outro, alude-se a uma condição na qual conflitos e preconceitos raciais permaneceriam na maior parte do tempo velados e obscurecidos, razão maior da dificuldade de identificá-los. Eis a questão orientadora do artigo: a tese da “excepcionalidade brasileira” ”“ que encontra na noção de democracia racial um de seus pilares fundamentais - é capaz de apreender as experiências recentes de ação afirmativa no Brasil? Ao nos debruçarmos sobre alguns dos processos sociais, políticos e históricos que desaguaram na formulação e implementação dessas políticas, buscamos identificar os desafios teórico-metodológicos enfrentados por tal tese.Departamento de Estudos Latino-Americanos - ELA2013-09-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/article/view/20213Journal of Study and Research on the Americas; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2013); 14 - 32Revista de Estudios y Investigaciones sobre las Américas; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2013); 14 - 32Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américas; v. 7 n. 1 (2013); 14 - 321984-1639reponame:Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américasinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/article/view/20213/18612Copyright (c) 2018 Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTavolaro, LíliaTavolaro, Sérgio2018-12-10T18:26:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/20213Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repamPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/repam/oairepam-ela@unb.br||revistaceppac@gmail.com1984-16391984-1639opendoar:2018-12-10T18:26:32Revista de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre as Américas - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
