Fantini, Joao Angelo (2013) The "racialized" other: intolerance and political equality in Brazil and the United Kingdom. In: 18th International Conference of The A.P.P.A.C. Association of Psychology & Psychiatry for Adults & Children, 21-24 May 2013, Athens, Greece. (Unpublished)
Abstract
The implementation of Affirmative Action (Political Equality) in various spheres of Brazilian society, including in the university, and mainly implemented through a system of ‘racial’ quotas, have confronted cultural myths such as 'Brazilian cordiality' or 'racial democracy'. Conversely, in the United Kingdom, affirmative action or reverse discrimination, i.e. choosing someone solely on the grounds of their gender or racial group is illegal under UK anti-discrimination law. This perspective changes not only the legal status of such actions, but implies a change in perspectives towards modes of 'racializing the other'.
