Abstract
This article aims to analyze the different ways structural racism is present in everyday life, starting from the development of the anthropological fieldwork. Thus, the experience of this study’s author is a starting point to this discussion, since, through an intersectional perspective, the black men have no place in the intellectual production. On the contrary, the black masculinity, through the naturalization of hegemonic perspectives, tend to be symbolically isolated, reduced to virility – sexual vigor – and physical strength, a target of fear, what through a necropolitic, seems to justify the so common executions of young black men. The reactions of surprise shown by the interlocutors reveal, through a multi-sited ethnography, that this racialized body can no longer be ignored in the discussion of the anthropological knowledge.
