The formation of brazilian society and the exclusion of minorities

A understanding of social issues from an ethnic-racial perspective

Abstract

The exclusion of black people in Brazilian society is a continuous process, first dehumanized, after that, forbidden to participating civilly, politically and economically in public and private spaces. Hence, even one or another person ascending socially, they find themselves with great limitations. They have always generated accumulation – before primitive and absolute, after the industrial and relative capital itself – but never allowed to access these properties. These are the issues that are intended to be addressed, from the perceptions of authors who dialogue both from an economic perspective, a cultural perspective, as well as a political and sociological perspective, as well as other thinkers who provide some tools and hypotheses for investigating and having a complex notion of how the formation of Brazilian society took place, with political and economic interests of the elite permeated throughout the process, and how at that time black and native people were excluded from participation in various ways.
