Servidores negros no Ifes : estudo sobre preconceitos, discriminações e racismos

Abstract

This research sought to understand how the individual, institutional and structural manifestation of racism occurs on the campuses of the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes). Race, the types and concepts of prejudice and discrimination, racism and its forms of manifestation and race relations and Brazilian national identity were used as theoretical foundations. The methodology used was the qualitative approach, being an exploratory and descriptive research and with an abductive investigation strategy. For the production of data, documentary analysis and a semistructured interview script were used, these being produced together with twenty civil servants who call themselves blacks and work in the most diverse positions and sectors of Ifes da Grande Vitória in Espírito Santo. Content analysis was defined as a data analysis technique. In view of the results, it was identified that the main contribution of this research to studies on race relations in organizations is to demonstrate how the manifestation of institutional racism produces privileges. It was found that putting in evidence the issues surrounding the racial issue brings many constraints in and for the institution. It was noticed that dealing with the theme proposed in this study is something painful and that it hurts a lot, especially black servants. It was also identified that this work was the first opportunity given to the interviewees so that they could expose situations related to prejudiced and discriminatory practices that occur in the Ifes environment. It is noteworthy that the individual, institutional and structural manifestation of racism present in the institution must be recognized by all who work in it, contributing to a greater understanding of race relations in Brazil, and consequently in organizational environments. Thus, in view of the relevance of the theme proposed in this study, it is noted that actions to encourage discussion and to combat racial discrimination and prejudice present in the institution must be adopted as soon as possible. It is noteworthy that themes such as prejudice, discrimination or racism enable the emergence of new studies in relation to racial issues in the Ifes organizational environment
