Resumo: Affirmative action (AA) is often conceptualized as a strategic mechanism when both racial tension and socio-economic inequality exist. In order to counter the effects of a colonial history of discrimination and disadvantage that has left huge silences and deformations in the historical narratives about indigenous people and their knowledge, philosophies, bodies and cultures, affirmative action is necessary. A post-colonial reading of affirmative action policies in Brazilian universities focused on indigenous people provided the basis for our analysis. We argue that AA policies have a potential force to produce epistemological disruptions in university contexts.

Ao considerar o racismo inscrito nas matrizes das ciências e o fato de que houve e há hierarquização dos conhecimentos, a crítica pós-colonial leva a cabo o exercício epistemológico de desfamiliarização das experiências antes racializadas e de desconstrução do vocabulário colonial a partir do qual elas têm sido nomeadas, conhecidas e inscritas nos imaginários.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2016-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/8662Estudos de Sociologia; v. 21 n. 41 (2016): Dossiê: Colonialidade, Subalternidade e Identidades1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/8662/6068Copyright (c) 2016 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKawakami, Erica2021-05-12T13:48:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8662Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:48:10Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
