Necropolítica da fronteira: um estudo da violência policial

Abstract

The racial element is present in lamentable modern statistics ranging from unemployment, lack of access to education and health, to situations of violence and genocide. Faced with the need to broaden the debate on racial violence perpetrated by the State, such research is convenient. Black people, although they represent the majority of the Brazilian population (IBGE 2019), are among the population group considered the most vulnerable, they are severely affected by violence and oppression of a social and institutional order. in addition to having less access to social policies, there is also a significant difference in fatality rates, incarceration and other forms of violence. Denying the humanity of black people remains the country's modus operandi. Therefore, we intend to discuss the historical and social legitimation of racial violence that crosses the experience of some groups in these conditions. In this way, the objective of the research is to explore a discussion about the police violence, which operates through racist means and the deepening of socially constructed inequalities since the colonial period. A bibliographic review was carried out that had contemporary authors as a theoretical framework and post-colonial using more current concepts, such as the concept of necropolitics developed by Achille Mbembe (2018). Therefore, we highlight the importance of discussing the issue of police violenceunder the focus of racism as a power structure, without exploring the topic tangentially or peripherally.
