FIGUEIREDO, Otto Vinicius Agra; ARRUDA, Jalusa Silva de  and  ARAUJO, Marta. PORTUGUESE COLONIALISM, LUSOTROPICALISM, RACISM AND ANTI-RACIST STRUGGLES - INTERVIEW WITH MARTA ARAÚJO. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.62, pp.168-186.  Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2021.v30.n62.p168-186.

Marta Araújo holds a Ph.D. from the University of London (IoE) and is a senior researcher at the Center for Social Studies, University of Coimbra (CES/UC). In this interview, she addressed her trajectory as a researcher dedicated to themes related to racism and how the theme entered the research agendas in Portugal. With knowledge of the Brazilian context, Marta Araújo approached the influence of Gilberto Freyre’s thought and lusotropicalism on Portuguese intellectuals and on the Portuguese political elite’s understanding of the consequences of colonialism, and also addressed what in Brazil we call miscegenation ideology. She reflected on methodological aspects of the development and dissemination of anti-racist research and critically analyzed the research agenda on race in the Portuguese context, highlighting the importance of articulation, mobilization, and political autonomy of the black movement in the fight against racism.

Keywords : institutional racism; colonialism; lusotropicalism; anti-racism.
