Abstract

This article reflects on structural racism as a determinant of violence and violation of rights against the black population. Its objective is to analyze the repressive and violent actions of the Brazilian bourgeois state to ensure capitalist material
production, which currently imposes death and/or imprisonment on this historically subalternized population. Thus, it reflects on the incarceration of black women, the extermination of the black population through police interventions. The article
highlights the importance of urgently breaking this unjust reality and building strategies to confront it, presupposing the need for the deconstruction and overcoming of the capitalist-racist-patriarchal society itself.
