GONCALVES, Luiz Alberto de Oliveira. The Negro movements in Brazil: setting up social and political actors. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 1998, n.09, pp.30-50. ISSN 1413-2478.
This article analyses socio-cultural conditions that favour the emergence of Negro movements in Brazil. It recovers the social action of the theme from different perspectives: Habermas, Touraine and Giddens. It defines the Negro movement as a social conflict against forms of cultural and political domination that is, as the collective actor constructing its own subjectivity. It situates the struggle of the Negro activists in different historical moments, linking education, sociability and political action.
