In this episode of Ramos da Ciência, Podcast edition, we bring a complex question about how race has been constructed, imposed, and contested in three different national contexts: South Africa, the United States, and Brazil. Far from being something natural or given, race is a phenomenon that is socially, politically, and historically constructed, and has been used to maintain hierarchies, organize economies, and shape national identities. This topic was the subject of a lecture held at the Santana Campus of the Federal Institute of Amapá. The reflection was presented by Professor Marcelle Mentor, from the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
