This article intends to discuss the tensions unleashed by the inclusion of the “negro-vida” and the thematization of whiteness. It is based on an empirical research on affirmative actions in three law schools: the Federal University of Bahia, the University of Brasília and the University of São Paulo’s Law Schools. In the study, developed with professors of these schools, we propose an interpretation based on the ideas of “social
pathology of Brazilian whites” and the cultural neurosis of “racism by denegation”. After analyzing the interviews, we identified the existence of a factor which is crucial to the current mechanisms of reproduction of inequality, whiteness. On the other hand, we identified the emergence of a new perspective brought by antiracist and Black researchers, that we named as negro-vida.
