Ações afirmativas e cotas: um estudo de revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

For this study, 52 articles from the Scielo database related to affirmative actions / quotas were analyzed from 2009 to April 2019. From the selected articles, we sought to present those who collaborated with the research problem, which were the contributions contributions from the affirmative actions, more specifically the quotas? The database was Scielo and the descriptor "affirmative actions" was present in all the articles used. In order to understand the contributions of affirmative actions, particularly the racial quotas, the articles were reviewed and, through the descriptors and their summaries, the type of data collection was identified and then the analysis of the results. The results show that much still has to be done in relation to affirmative action, more specifically in the category racial and social quotas regarding public education. Criticisms of its application should be very well analyzed so that they tend to contribute to the success of this public policy.
