MELLO, Luiz  y  RESENDE, Ubiratan Pereira de. Federal civil service examinations for university faculty and affirmative actions for racial equality. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.175, pp.8-29.  Epub 29-Abr-2020. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053146788.

In this study, quali-quanti methodology was applied to analyze the implementation of Law no. 12,990/2014 on quotas for Black candidates at 63 federal universities and 38 federal ‘institutes’ (secondary and vocational training), during the period that spanned 2014 to 2018. The law reserves 20% of teaching vacancies filled through federal civil servant examinations for Black people. We observe the distance that separates the legally-stipulated conditions and actual practice in these institutions. As five years have now gone by since the passage of this legislation, it seems safe to say that the goal of expanding racial/color diversity in federal civil service will not be achieved through public examinations for teaching careers. Moreover, meeting this goal becomes progressively harder, given the present scenario of resurgence of meritocratic discourses that question the legitimacy of affirmative actions for Afro-Brazilians.

Palabras clave : PUBLIC PROCUREMENT; TEACHING CAREER; BLACK; AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
