Abstract

This study presents some characteristics with regard to the National Policy on Drugs in a dialogic discussion with the reproductions of racism. Thus, it is proposed investigation regarding the materialization and development of policies on drugs and the socio-historical construction of racism at the structural level. For this task, use the strategy methodology of the bibliographical analysis of pertinent authors that corroborate with weightings about drug policies, considerations about racism in Brazil and the development and construction of Brazilian sociability. Brazil was formed, mainly, based on hierarchical structures of race and class, segmenting and oppressing the black and poor population due to its colonization process and socio-historical transformations. such a process brought together different cultures that spread throughout the Brazilian territory, making Brazil multicultural. Bahia was the state that most received and concentrated slaves in Brazil, this forms Bahia is the blackest territory in the country and is located in one of the Brazilian territories most stigmatized: the Northeast region. In addition to the bibliographical analysis, in this work it was used the technique of document analysis to present the variables on violence giving emphasis on the racial issue and how the prohibitionist ideology contributes to the expansion of these elements. A study of probabilistic data referring to the phenomenon of violence in Brazil and how this phenomenon is generational. We tried to answer the following question: How is racism structured in the National Drug Policy through action of the Brazilian State? It was concluded, through the research carried out, that prohibitionism is a the forms of oppression of the black, poor and young population; institutionalized violence, or rather, the use of force by the State creates the war on drugs based on worldwide prohibitionism; the war on drugs is a necropolitics that controls who must and who will actually die; State action through (necro)politics on drugs reveals itself as a strategy to dispose of black bodies that are no longer useful and to maintain the hierarchical structures of race and class.
