BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS: THE URBAN FORM OF BLACK POPULATIONS IN BRAZIL

Abstract

An important challenge in Brazilian society is to think about the life situation of the black population within our reality, as a specific problem, encompassing black culture and structural racism, within the perspective of the black population itself. Insert together with life situation of the black population the education of the housing areas of this population. To think about the population life reality within the vision of systemic complexity, overcoming the Eurocentric paradigm, beyond the boundaries of the organization science disciplines and the simplicity of the abstraction model. Black neighborhoods and black urban form is a proposition to achieve these goals. This article aims to think about the ways of education of the black population in a territorialized way contained in the lived reality of the black neighborhoods, to think of their recognition, as a concept, as reality and as specificity for the thought in education. Cities and neighborhoods allow us to think about the reality of structural racism mirrored in built structures or not, and black urban forms are concepts, scientific abstractions that explain the formation and functioning of the structures of cities and their institutions, among them the education of black population.
