NUNES, Georgina Helena Lima  and  SANTOS, Sales Augusto dos. Quota system, frauds and hyper-racism in Brazil. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2019, vol.81, n.3, pp.637-663.  Epub Feb 20, 2020. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2019.3.57924.

This article discusses the existence of fraud in the quota system of Brazilian federal universities. It questions racial self-declaration as a sovereign measure for identifying black and brown students and, consequently, for ensuring their entry into the ethnic-racial subquotas established by the Quotas Law, while demonstrating the existence of another instrument of racial identification: the commissions to check the validity of ethnic-racial self-declaration. As a result of the existence of fraud and its consequences, it highlights the emergence of a new phase of racism in Brazil: hyper-racism.

Keywords : universities; quota system; fraud; heteroidentification; hyper-racism.
