• Abstract:

  This article proposes to highlight the importance of the actions of social movements for the collective demands of individuals from the black population for public and social policies. Thus, our focus is on the importance of the actions of the black social movement in the field of education as a strategy for the social inclusion of young blacks in Brazilian universities, with specific affirmative actions, considering that, in these spaces, the different social relations of power are configured., being and knowing. In this reflection, we highlight the Pre-College Entrance Exam for Blacks and Needy People (PVNC), considered a contemporary social movement, given that in its specific activity it brings together ambivalent groups such as race and gender and that seeks, through its conduct, to produce a type of transforming social action that requires a change in the structure of society, both in its economic and cultural dimension, for a broad conception of citizenship. This means that social policy would enable the democratization of education as a social right available in Brazilian society for the black population, as a process of fostering Afro-citizenization.
