Abstract

This article aims to discuss perspectives and impasses brought by the entry of black students into public universities, as a result of affirmative action policies. We start from experiences gathered in three fundamental spaces for the effectiveness of quota policy: the heteroindentification committee at UFES; countercolonial pedagogical experiences, open to welcoming the trajectories of peripheral students and reflecting on the political, historical and psychosocial effects of racism, discussed in the discipline of Introduction to Psychology; and the extension practices of the collective Psychoanalytic Occupation, which held talks at UFES about what it is like to be a black student at the university. We highlight the importance of including, in the policies of permanence, in addition to material conditions, symbolic, aesthetic, political and epistemological transformations of the university space as a way of overcoming institutional racism and the production of care and life.
