Vol. 10 No. 26 (2022): Affirmative action in universities and beyond

Twenty years elapsed since afirmative action implementation in some public universities and ten years after they became mandatory in federal universities and institutes, it still generates controversy. This dossier intends to go beyond what is traditionally done in assessments of affirmative policies. By lending visibility to the social transformations caused, either directly or indirectly, by the introduction of affirmative action, it seeks to shed light on how they affected the understanding of the “racial question” in our society.
