THE NARCISSISTIC PACT OF WHITENESS ON A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN TOCANTINS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to problematize the racial and regional representativeness among students and professors at the Porto Nacional Campus of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). It discusses the effectiveness of the quota system for both, considering that, for this system, the characteristics of students and teachers must be based on the characteristics of the local population in which the unit is located. The results indicate the maintenance of the narcissistic pact of whiteness, since there is a great discrepancy between the hegemony of those who hold privileged social, cultural, and economic status, which public higher education professors enjoy, and the black and brown majority of students who have no racial and regional representation in their 'masters, reaffirming the representation of a Colonial Brazil.
