O desafio das relações étnico-raciais em região de colonização italiana : estudo no município de Carlos Barbosa - RS

Abstract

The purpose of this Master's Dissertation is to analyze the historicity of the inequalities in the ethnic-racial relations of Brazilian society, especially among whites and blacks, taking as an empirical dimension to the study the municipality of Carlos Barbosa - RS. The choice of theme stems from the author's insertion in teaching and research activities, concern with the processes of discrimination suffered by black people and the challenge of thinking about a more equal society. In the methodological dimension, the study was carried out through bibliographical and documentary researches in the composition of the first two chapters. Through the collection of testimonies of blacks and whites, in the city under study, based on the interview script, the expositions and analyzes that constitute the third chapter were elaborated. The information and representations of social subjects were cataloged and later analyzed through the technique of discourse analysis. The reflection on the collected discursive manifestations and the data collected in historical research shows the continuation of ethnic-racial prejudice in everyday practices in the community studied, pointing to the challenges that citizens have to face in order to build a society of equality, respect for differences and recognition of the other.
