Summary: In Brazil, the history of race relations is established in a racializing context of
subjects. A social mark is given to those who are read and identify as black
from colonial times, categorizing them negatively and disqualifying them
historically to the detriment of their racial identities. All this distinction also
reflects in organizational contexts, as is the case of academia while the world of
work - space not qualified as black is a minority. Given the reality, it is
necessary to understand the difference between these subjects in this space as
the world of work. Apart from this disparity, it is also necessary to analyze their
speeches. In this sense, this study sought to understand how racism practices
in the world of academic work, considering the black documents of a university
in southeastern Brazil. From this, some objectives are outlined: understand and
analyze as subjects experienced as practices of racism in the world of work;
observe how these events (if there is institutional, individual and / or structural
racism); It also analyzes the power relations and possible resistance practices
of the interviewees, as well as the incidence of stereotypes and estimates of
these relations. In the production of data, ten (10) semi-structured interviews
were conducted and, regarding the analysis process, three (03) categories were
produced through the content analysis methodology: 1) About racism,
stereotypes and positions; 2) About racism and power relations; 3) About
racism and resistance practices. Given the results and discussions of this
study, it was possible to realize that black teachers are stereotyped in different
ways, both for their physical characteristics and for their forms of positioning. In
addition, it was observed that the context and spaces influence the stereotyping
processes of the subjects. In the case of power relations, the latter, for the most
part, appears as a positive, intentional and strategic power; but that in the case
of teachers, according to some reports, causes physical and mental suffering in
the workplace. Resistance practices were identified when, according to reports,
teachers occupied spaces which are considered by academic hegemony as
hard areas for black subjects. Racism, in turn, has gone through all its possible
forms of existence, showing that the same racist practice can have faces that
complement each other between what is individual, institutional, or structural at
the same time. The analysis of the spaces occupied by teachers, mostly as
centers of human sciences rather than exact or health, as well as the
understanding of racism beyond racial identity, observing gender issues and
other intersectionalities are considered here as limitations. of this research;
However, they are considered as necessary reflections for future studies within
the organizations and the world of work, both linked to racial discussions.
