Political black elite in Brazil: relation among social movement, parties and State

Minha tese de doutorado, intitulada Elite Política Negra no Brasil, analisa a relação entre movimento negro, partidos políticos e Estado, entre os anos de 1978 a 2002. Minha abordagem teórica é a combinação da sociologia das relações raciais com a teoria do confronto politico, além de correntes analíticas sobre os movimentos sociais. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, trabalhei com materiais documentais, entrevistas; especialmente documentos escritos por ativistas negros, além da imprensa alternativa e nacional, documentos partidários e governamentais.This doctoral dissertation, named Political Black Elite in Brazil, investigates the relationship between Black Movement, Political Parties and State, from 1978 until 2002.

Over the course of this research I worked with documental sources and interviews. I focused especially in articles and other documents written by Black activists. I also used articles that circulated in alternative and mainstream medias, and other documents publicized by Political Parties, and Governments
