SANTOS, João Paulo Lopes dos  and  MOREIRA, Nubia Regina. Between race and gender: meaning of racial quotas for black university students. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.52, pp.77-100.  Epub Jan 09, 2020. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v20i52.1222.

This study aims to analyze the significance of the racial quotas for four black students, quota holders of the Southwestern Bahia State University. For this, we use data from the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA), which show the discrepancies between blacks and whites in Higher Education. The methodological aspects are based on the relational perspective potencialized by Pierre Bourdieu. Therefore, the qualitative approach was structured from the use of interviews. It was observed the essentiality of the racial quotas as enablers channels for the insertion of blacks in Higher Education. So, the inexistence of them would taper even more their presence in the university. However, racial quotas, despite advances, could not mitigate racism and promote racial equality yet.

Keywords : racial quotas; Higher Education; black students.
