Popis: | Summary The political wave of actions occurring in several countries following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police shows that times are changing dramatically in terms of how vast segments of our society perceive and respond to racism and social injustice against Black citizens. The campaign Black Lives Matter has gone mainstream and is no longer localized in the USA but has extended to several countries, inducing significant questioning of heroes, myths, and the way history and national identity have been built over decades. This movement has logically reached academia, as academic institutions reflect social structures and may reproduce and perpetuate social inequalities to different extents. |
