Abstract

LISBOA, Armando de Melo. Brazilian Watercolor: melanin ghosts, melanomic poisons. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.67, pp.105-124.  Epub May 15, 2019. ISSN 2238-2097.  https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v28i67.7111.

The anti-racist struggle finds itself increasingly involved in traps resulting from the treacherous and fatal racialized language used by it. The categories and the ontology of this language, by hindering ethical values and engendering dehumanization, end up compromising the struggle itself. Thus, this essay questions the idea of a racial identity and points to the crucial importance of the deracialization of emancipatory political praxis so that it can succeed.

Keywords : Racism; Blackness; Whiteness; Identity; Fanon.
