Structural Racism

In the 1970s, Kwame Turu and Charles Hamilton, in the book "Black Power", presented for the first time the concept of institutional racism: much more than the actions of individuals with personal motivations, racism is infiltrated in institutions and culture, generating a priori deficient conditions for a large part of the population. It is based on this concept that the author Silvio Almeida presents statistical data and discusses how racism is in the social, political and economic structure of Brazilian society.
