Abstract
This article aims to discuss aspects of the (re)production of racial segregation in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Specifically, the article problematizes the discriminatory mechanisms present in the legal system, which, through land ownership, corroborate the processes of division of the city. As a starting point, 2010 data on racial segregation are presented. As a process, legal/temporal frameworks are discussed - from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century - that illustrate a chain of discrimination that promotes segregation by the public authorities. As a perspective, we analyse regulations (laws, decrees and resolutions) where the equity of race, gender and class is claimed in order to subsidize new proposals for redress in urban and housing policies.
