AGOSTINHO, Luis Otávio Vincenzi  y  BREGA FILHO, Vladimir. Por um olhar democrático às ações afirmativas. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2011, vol.92, n.232, pp.455-476. ISSN 2176-6681.

The present article discusses the affirmative policies as a way to reduce the inequalities and the privileges of some individuals in relation to others, as for example the black citizens. The affirmative actions are shown as a stabilizing instrument by guaranteeing the inclusion of the vulnerable people even if it is temporary sometimes. The study analyzes the data that attributes the worst indexes of health, education, wealth and basic sanitation to the black citizens in comparison to the white ones. Moreover, the analysis indicates some possible ways to promote citizenship through State initiative. It concludes that it is not only a question of reallocate black people to places usually occupied by white people but also the necessity to create a legitimate access criterion in order to promote a plural and radical democracy concept.

Palabras clave : Affirmative Actions; Racial Equality; Emancipation; Cordial Racism.
