Abstract

The present work of conclusion of course has as general objective to understand the aspects that configure the racial issue in Brazil and how this is reflected in several segments of society, mainly against the black population. understanding that racism is the structural basis of society, this work will analyze the historical process of building racial inequality in the country and how the process of capital accumulation benefited from the compulsory work of the enslaved black, producing wealth for the bourgeois minority and, at the same time, deep scars after the abolition of slavery. We chose to understand how the racial issue originated in Brazil and its expressions in health, among other aspects of the daily life of the black population in the country. However, in this trajectory, the present author came across frightening data on unemployment and violence, of which the black population is a victim. Thus, it was decided to understand the racial issue: contemporary reflections for Social Service, because the author considers important for her professional training, as well as the contribution to the course of Social Service of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) because there are still few productions on the racial ethnic theme in the area of Brazilian Social Service.
