Discriminação racial de jovens negros no Brasil: revisão integrativa

This study aimed to investigate what scientific evidence exists about racial discrimination against young Blacks in Brazil. The method performed was an integrative review of the scientific literature, based on the guiding question: what does the scientific evidence indicate on racial discrimination against young Blacks in Brazil? The search was performed in six databases, adopting as inclusion criteria original articles, without period restrictions, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, carried out in Brazil and with full text available. Incomplete and duplicate studies were excluded. Ten studies published between 2003 and 2021 were selected: eight scientific articles and two dissertations. Six of these studies were published in Portuguese and four in English. It was evident that the studies analyzed the consequences of racial discrimination in three main axes: education, violence, and the labor market. It is concluded that the selected studies point to evidence that racial discrimination in Brazil is still something recurrent. The reduced number of works is worrisome since scientific knowledge is of paramount importance for understanding this phenomenon. Therefore, further studies that address the phenomenon of racial discrimination against black youth in Brazil are urgently needed.
