AMORIM, Roseane Maria de; SILVA, Andréa Giordanna Araujo da  and  SILVA, Fabson Calixto da. Black and african students: individuals present, absent voices. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.49, pp.374-389. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.2015/maio.ago.v25n49.013.

This paper aims to describe and analyze some data from an extension project and research titled "The narratives of the self and the effects of affirmative action policies to black students who need of affirmative action and Africans." We have as central issues of our work the following questions: What do the students who need of affirmative action and not unitholders know about the quotas? What do the various African groups who are at university know about the quotas and their experience as a student in the Alagoas' State? In methodological terms, we use some procedures and instruments of action research to raise our diagnostic procedures and social intervention. It is concluded after investigation that the affirmative action policies in college should be the subject of constant debate whether in academia or in society. There is ignorance on the part of students who need of affirmative action, not unitholders and africans student about the racial quotas, the policies of affirmative action and the collective human rights achievements and socio-historical character.

Keywords : Africans; Racial Quotas; Affirmative Action Policies.
