Abstract

This article is part of a theoretical discussion triggered off by a research thesis
within a PhD Social Psychology Program. The aim of the research was,
among others, to investigate the educational inequalities among Brazilian
black population. The study highlights the educational unevenness amidst
this population, as imparities regarding access to schooling and lack of formal
learning. Contemporary literature on ethnic-racial relations and theoretical
contributions to educational inequalities were reviewed, in addition to
Brazilian legislation. Regarding methodology, Depth Hermeneutics, as
proposed by Thompson (2011), was employed, as well as the content analysis based upon Bardin (2011). In conclusion, it would appear that
educational inequality among Brazilian black population was subjected
to transformations during different sociohistorical contexts from one
legislation to another. Official actions taken to eliminate racial inequality,
in general, are hovered by an inclusion/exclusion binomial.
