QUESTÃO SOCIAL E RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS NO BRASIL

Abstract

The text deals with the particularity of the social issue in Brazil as a result of capitalist relations built here through exploitation and oppression of the working classes. It seeks the genesis of inequalities and pauperism in Brazil, marked by nearly four centuries of slavery. Analyzes the supporting pillars of slavery: slave labor, the monoculture and the landlordism, which generated high profit rates, highlighting that, after the abolition and the proclamation of the republic, with the need of construction of an idea of developed nation, it was necessary to eliminate the black element, through the whitening ideology and the myth of racial democracy, which masked / masks the real condition that were put black men and women in this country.
