O assassínio da população negra no Brasil: uma análise à luz das ferramentas foucaultianas

Abstract

This research carries out a study on the influence of racism in the murder of the black population in Brazil, which has long been the target of different forms of domination. The concept of murder here is understood based on Foucaultian analysis and research tools, which encompasses not only direct death, but also exclusion, imprisonment and social inequality. Thus, it aims to demonstrate how mass incarceration, political and economic exclusion and the high homicide rate of black bodies are a deliberate action of the State that uses the tools of power to justify favoring a certain racial class over another
