HOW CAN ETHNICITY PROMOTE RECOGNITION OF AN ETHNIC IDENTITY?

Abstract

This article aims to know and reflect on what has been produced in the last decade and a half of this century, focused on the theme of ethnicity, in the period from 2001 to 2016. The methodology adopted was a consultation of the Portal of Journals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) / MEC. The choice of the theme was a personal decision, as it is a production for the end of the course, with Professor Dr. Estevão Rafael Fernandes, who granted us autonomy to choose the theme. When accessing the aforementioned portal, I opted to search by subject. Inserting the word ethnicity, the portal retrieved and made available 166 articles related to the topic, written in English and Spanish, of which 101 were peer-reviewed. I opted only for articles written in Portuguese. As a selection criterion, I chose the most accessed articles on this theme. After refinement, the result was reduced to 10 articles.  And it is these articles that underpin this work.
