Which factors determined their academical life as students? How could their professional experience at UFAM be described? What challenges did they face for being black professors? All along the time they played their roles as common academic students and professors, did they realize any change concerning the acceptance of the black identity void of prejudice? In the case in which they had to face inward prejudice issues against negroes at UFAM, what strategies did they make use of? This way, the main goals of this research had been established and accomplished with their objectives, which were to identify and make an analysis of the process of the construction and reconstruction of these subjects identities, the forms of prejudice that were observed inside of their workplaces, as well as the needs or its negative for the establishment of affirmative political programs in research field.
