A dialética do racismo

Aug 2026 · Revista Práxis e Hegemonia Popular · Vol 11 · 0 citations

Abstract

The lives of the Black population in Brazil have been violated in various aspects and periods throughout history. Although racism is not the motivator of enslavement, it nevertheless becomes one of its worst consequences. That said, the capitalist mode of production corroborates and exploits the disparities caused by racism, characterizing it not only as a colonial legacy but also as a vital factor in the production and reproduction of capitalism, which manifests itself in society beyond the economic sphere. The Marxist theory used and discussed throughout this article allows us to recognize and identify the multiple expressions in the movement of reality beyond appearance, observing reality as what it is, unique and changeable. Thus, this article aims to discuss the implications of racism in Brazil, addressing the dialectical historical materialist method as intrinsic to its analysis.
