SUMMARY:

Throughout history, one of the challenges present in the process of social ascension of black populations is racism. Therefore, these people have always developed resistance strategies to guarantee the possibility of becoming members of places and contexts only reserved for white elites, such as universities. These strategies are diverse, and range from abolitionist movements to ordinary everyday practices. The territory of interest of this study is the brazilian federal universities, and university data has indicated that this student profile is mostly black; however, localized research, such as in prestigious courses such as Medicine, demonstrate that there is still a big difference in the number of black, brown and white people in this space. Medicine, Law and Engineering are the so-called "imperial courses", so named because they were founded in the Imperial era of Brazil. The profile of students in these courses are traditionally white and of high economic class. Considering the tensions provoked by the dynamics of racial relations, these data lead to questions about the experiences of black people, both from the middle and lower classes, in these specific courses. This study uses as a theoretical basis the Ethnomethodology and the theoretical postulations of Frantz Fanon, and aimed to understand the processes experienced by black women in becoming members of the Law, Electrical Engineering and Medicine courses at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). Qualitative analyzes were carried out on how these students perceive and describe their daily experiences as they live and interact in university contexts considered elitist. In this way, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of how black people have become part of elitist contexts.
