| Resumo: | This article analyzes how the concepts “race” and “racism” are present and absent in different social contexts and how these presences and absences are related to different social values and visions of what would be a desirable society. The article explores various arguments that advocate the use of the race concept as an analytical element, based on the idea that the race concept is useful for understanding the phenomenon of racism. The following issues are addressed: the apparent replacement of “race” with “culture”; the way racism operates through other grammars, such as culture and gender; the weakness of making a distinction between the public and the private in order to affirm that racial differences can be tolerated in the private sphere but not in the public sphere where it is argued that we all have the right and obligation to appear as universal citizens; the difference between the concept of race and racism; and the difference between talking about racism and talking about racial discrimination. |
