Silvio Luiz de Almeida () and Leda Maria Paulani ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 2025, vol. 45, issue 1, 183-205

Abstract: The complete disconnection between the parameters and variables that guide thediscussion on economic development, on the one hand, and, on the other, the unequivocalexistence of discriminatory processes that are based on racialized criteria, is the theme of thiswork. Using an approach based on materialist political economy, we seek to reflect on thereasons for this eloquent silence. As a result, we point out new elements that highlight thestructural character of racism, as supported by Almeida (2020). JEL Classification: O10; J7; J15.
