Abstract
In 2012, the Quotas Law was approved, determining that Brazilian federal institutions reserve 50% of vacancies for students from public, black and indigenous schools. This state-of-the-art study aims to systematize publications on quotas in a decade in Brazil. Three electronic databases (Scopus / Elsevier, CAPES Journals and Google Scholar) were searched, using the descriptors: quotas; university; University quotas; Brazil. There were 109 publications, organized in two periods: 2003 to 2008 (N = 48), and 2009 to 2013 (N = 61). The thematic categories were: "theoretical and legal crash" (70.6%); "Impacts of quotas" (70.6%); "Perspectives" (36.7%); "Criteria" (17.4%) and "Comparisons between countries" (14.7%). The results show that in the first period, the questions about the constitutionality of the Quotas are emphasized and in the second the effects of the Brazilian experience in the society. At the end, topics relevant to the evolution of the discussion about the theme are proposed.
