“…This gap had already been pointed out by Barbosa (2009), Costa and Ferreira (2006) and Rosa (2014). However, its presence has expanded in recent years within this academic community, due to the effort of Black researchers and white engaged scholars (Jaime et al, 2018;Nascimento, Teixeira, Oliveira & Saraiva, 2016). In the specific case of its occurrence in the corporate world, the debates about diversity management represent an important contribution to the placement of this theme on the agenda, as the pioneering research of Alves and Galeão-Silva (2004) and Fleury (2000) attest.…”

“…This article addresses the racial issue in the business world. Jaime et al (2018) argued it is present more than a century ago in the scientific production of sociology and anthropology since the foundation of these areas of studies in Brazil. They also claim this issue has been one of the forgotten dimensions of the research undertaken in the field of Administration in Brazil.…”

“…For this reason, Costa and Ferreira (2006) point out that the racial dimension is one of the great gaps of the studies on diversity management carried out in Brazil; and Barbosa (2009) speaks of the denial of race in Brazilian organizational studies. Writing a few years later, Rosa (2014) stated that this gap has not yet been fulfilled, and Jaime, Barreto and Oliveira (2018) argued that although the research on racial issues has been present in the field of the social sciences in Brazil for over a century, this theme is largely forgotten in the field of management studies in the Brazilian society.…”

Since the beginning of this century diversity management has been present as an important topic of studies in the field Administration in Brazil. However, research on this topic that focuses on the Black population is still scarce. In order to contribute to fill this gap, this article brings the results of a socio-anthropological investigation conducted through the biographical method and ethnographic fieldwork on the professional trajectories of two generations of Black businesswomen. These trajectories were analyzed from the societal contexts that framed them and considering gender, race and class in an intersectional perspective. The results reveal that the career paths of the second generation were built in a much more favorable societal context. However, they also show that we are still very far from gender and racial equality in the Brazilian corporate world.

Resumo Esta edição especial, generosamente aceita e publicada pelo Cadernos EBAPE.BR, surge das lutas diárias pela preservação da vida no Brasil e em outras partes do Sul Global e contra a radicalização da invisibilidade das opressões coloniais e raciais em um momento de dupla pandemia, a da COVID-19 e da supremacia branca. Essa coleção de artigos que temos o prazer de compartilhar com você, incorpora nossa resposta decolonizadora e desracializadora a uma normalização da necropolítica, de decidir quem pode viver e quem deve morrer. Essa normalização pode ser vista, por exemplo, na falsa ideia de impunidade de agentes da aplicação da lei, como o policial de Mineápolis que matou George Floyd nos EUA. É importante destacar que o assassinato de George Floyd teria sido apenas mais uma estatística se não fosse a coragem e determinação da adolescente negra de 17 anos que filmou aquela ocorrência ordinária com seu celular. Inspirados pela coragem negra, reunimos oito artigos provocativos e perspicazes que nos ajudarão a refletir sobre as lutas enfrentadas por comunidades marginalizadas e o impacto da perspectiva eurocêntrica na compreensão das práticas de gestão e dinâmicas organizacionais. Esses artigos abordam temas como o papel da Contabilidade no sistema escravagista, formas contemporâneas de escravidão no Brasil e as experiências interseccionais das mulheres negras na exploração trabalhista. Nosso objetivo é desafiar narrativas existentes e, ao iluminar histórias ocultas sobre a escravidão negra por meio de perspectivas decoloniais e afrodiaspóricas, contribuir para decolonização e desracialização dentro e fora do campo da Gestão e dos Estudos Organizacionais.

Debating Black slavery in management and organizational studies from decolonial and afro-diasporic perspectives

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This special issue, generously accepted and published by Cadernos EBAPE.BR, emerges from the daily life-preserving struggles in Brazil and other parts of the Global South against the radical invisibility of colonial and racial oppressions at a time of the double pandemic of COVID-19 and white supremacy. This collection of articles that we have the pleasure to share with you embodies our decolonizing and deracializing response to normalization of necropolitics, of deciding who may live and who must die. This normalization can be seen in the false idea of impunity of law enforcement officials, such as the Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd in the USA. It is important to highlight that George Floyd’s death would have been yet another mere statistic if not for the courage and determination of the 17-year-old Black teenager who filmed it with her cell phone. Inspired by the attitude of this Black girl, we brought together eight provocative and insightful articles which will help us to reflect on the struggles faced by marginalized communities and the impact of the domain of Eurocentric perspective on the understanding of management practices and organizations’ dynamics. These papers cover topics such as the role of accounting in the slave-owning system, contemporary forms of slavery in Brazil, and the intersectional experiences of Black women in labor exploitation. Our goal is to challenge existing narratives and shed light on hidden histories to contribute to the decolonization and deracialization within and outside the field of Management and Organizational Studies.
