SILVA, Arlene Santos  and  PINHEIRO, Bárbara Carine Soares. BLACK CHEMISTRY OF THE 20TH CENTURY AND INSTITUTIONAL RACISM IN THE SCIENCES. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.4, pp.121-146.  Epub May 15, 2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n4id1007.

The present work presents the trajectory of black chemical scientists who acted during the 20th century, opposing the separatist politics of their time. The actions of these scientists served as examples of struggle and resistance, as well as contributions to the expansion of the Afrodescendant legacy in the technical and scientific sphere of humanity. The analysis of the trajectories of these scientists was made under the perspective of the reflection of racism and institutional racism in the development of their work and academic and professional careers. The results of this study indicate the need to reaffirm the image of the black population as an intellectually productive population, redirecting the centrality of evolution and technological and scientific development in order to show the real face of development, plural, regarding ethnicity and gender of scientists and producers of technologies and knowledge around the world.

Keywords : Institutional Racism; Black scientists; Ethnic-racial relations in the sciences.
