Racism and the new pact with whiteness in times of pandemic: challenges for the Social Work

Abstract:

In this paper we examine aspects of social, racial and gender inequalities that the new coronavirus pandemic has exposed. The virus is presented as indifferent to social classes, but in Brazil it is the most precarious peripheries that bury hundreds of thousands of dead. Faced with the precariousness of social policies, Social Work professionals are called to deal with the confrontation of old expressions of the social question in face of the new pact of whiteness that annihilates black lives.
