Abstract

The present study examines Brazilian theses and dissertations related to the theme Education and Race Relations defended between the years 2004-2013, whose purpose is to identify what academic productions say respecting education and race relations during this period. With this purpose, a qualitative search was conducted through bibliographic study mode, using the collection procedure online of data, effective from the time of access to the site of the Brazilian Digital Library of theses and dissertations. For dealing with the information, the Bardin's content analysis was used (2011) as a methodological support and to the concept of field according to Bourdieu (1974, 1976, 1983,1994, 1995,1998, 2003), as a theoretical contribution. The outcome of the investigation points to the growing approach on the topic race relations and education in recent years, and the variation of this related subtopics, such as: social movements; identities; racism; training of teachers; proposals and pedagogical practices; memories; affirmative actions and educational policies; curricula and programs; pedagogical instruments; state of the art, theoretical concepts, among others, which enable the visibility of debates and promote the creation of a field where disputes of strength and senses can mobilize a symbolic power able to boost the overcoming of social exclusion condition present in different spheres of society.
