Overview of black youth in Brazil

Thinking black youth is to be face to face with a social category which is directly connected to my own life and which suffers racism inside and outside school, directly associated with daily violence and the main victims of extermination in the country. In contrast with these thoughts are the ideas of Africaness which show us valuable ways, in the past and present, of resistance. Thinking an overview of the Brazilian black youth is to be connected with the historical and historiographical concepts of time which invalidated and erased our stories and referentials as black population for the sake of a Eurocentric worldview. This essay seeks to focus on the processes of resistance experienced in everyday life by this youth, and draw a conceptual story line of being a young black man/woman in the Brazilian territory.
