Abstract

The debate on racialization and racism used to be based on different perspectives, specifically under the approach that every country, community and/or group develops its own experience and categories of race and racism. The construction of racism in Brazil, which is constituted within a racialized society, has walked side by side with the country’s history of migration. The new migration wages of the XXI century shape a new situation where racism is expressed towards immigrant populations. How racially identified immigrants notice racism in Brazil, which still appears abroad through the myth of a racial democracy? This article seeks to facilitate a dialogue between the contemporary debates on the theories of identity and racism with the current racialized immigration, through analyzing papers and journal’s pieces.
