Corpos pretos e estado democrático de direito: uma Reflexão sobre o Direito à Vida das Pessoas Pretas a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988

Abstract

Studies on living conditions and access to rights by black people have been gaining notoriety, despite conditions of social inequality, precariousness of services, structural racism and the significant increase in the number of deaths. The collective magination of subjects who occupy privileged positions in power relations due to the white color of their skin is one of the obstacles faced by the Democratic State of Law established by the Federal Constitution of 1988, especially regarding the right to life and Dignity of the Human Person. Black people, historically seen as mere bodies used in the service of whites, have been decimated and that is why it is essential to bring the issue to modern times. Therefore, the research problem lies in investigating the reasons for the extermination of black lives in a necropolitical context, where the right to Life is constitutionally guaranteed to all. For this bias, using bibliographical research as a methodology, this study presents a reflection on the right to Life by black people.
