Educação das relações étnico-raciais: as sagas e resiliências das mulheres negras profissionais: em três ambientes universitários

Abstract

This paper aims at understanding and analysing how professional black women pursue and reach or not the position of protagonists in three university environments. According to studies made by Sueli Carneiro (2011), John Land Carth (2011), Nilma Lino Gomes (1995), statistics and others, throughout the last years, black and white women have been rising socially due to their university qualifications. Although black and white women are allocated in companies and higher education institutions, and the black women does not rise to higher positions at the same proportion as white women. By trying to express the tracking of black women, for instance, it is noticeable a range of aspects that go beyond ethnicity and femininity because besides being a woman, to be black means living a saga and resilience. The existence of black women in education and in the marke in general is justified by provoking the problem about their saga and resilience, having black women stereotyped several times as unable, incompetent and unprepared. This leads us to a reflection and a better understanding of prejudiced attitudes in the society, which end up imprisoning black women in a way that let them marginalized in every single sense.
