For that, the concepts of agent, agency and disenchantment of Asante (2009) were used. The objective is to analyze how Affirmative Actions, such as Law 10.639 / 03, conquered by black social movements in the field of public policies may be serving as agencies for the black population to become agents of their own histories. Presenting a basic cut of effective results of Affirmative Actions in the field of education and work in Brazil and Paraíba. This is an exploratory study, with a qualitative and quantitative sociological approach, based on indicators produced and made available on survey platforms and in scientific literature.
