Monica da Silva Francisco,

Race, Identity, and Education in Brazil

This article addresses the very reality coming from the insertion of black youth in the Taça das Favelas Championship, an event organized by the Central Única das Favelas (CUFA) in Rio de Janeiro, discussing the shifts arising from the modernization of soccer, as well as the difficulties of achieving social mobility black and people from periphery still face in football currently, such as the few possibilities those young black people face to enter the universe of professional sport. By arguing these points I thus bring some considerations about black male youths, patriarchy and masculinities.
