Abstract

 The first part of this text reflects on racism and inclusion from the point of view of our formation as anthropologists and our experience as ethnographers who believe that the effects of fieldwork and ethnography must surpass the theoretical or academic field, since there is always something to learn from the people with whom we work. After that we give an account of the long process of implementation of ethnic-racial quotas in the Postgraduate Program in Social Anthropology- National Museum. In addition to its intrinsic importance, we believe that this record can be useful for the growing number of initiatives aimed at the implementation of affirmative action policies in several postgraduate programs. At the same time, we will not shy away from some initial assessments of the workings and directions that the process has taken in the National Museum, and we also propose a few connections between this experiment and the reflections of the first part of the text.
