This article aims to discuss the ideas of social disintegration as part of the birth of Brazil and the Latin American colony. It is based on the central thesis of Caio Prado Jr. who analyzed colonization as a “big trade company” that never aimed to populate these territories. A social fracture that at successive moments of Brazil’s history acquires different characteristics, but never ceases to exist and deepen. In front of the capital’s structural crisis, this breakdown deepens and reproduces in an exponential manner and with new features.

In this paper, we propose to synthesize the course of the post-2001 territorial movements, specifically identifying the movement of unemployed workers that belongs to the suburban third ring of the Argentinean capital city or “Big Buenos Aires”. We make a balance of what happened during the days of December the 19th and 20th of 2001, the fundamental milestone of the period of resistance to neoliberalism in its most acute implementation during the 90s, to understand the state’s intervention produced from 2003 in Nestor Kirchner´s government. We want to highlight the return to a “popular national” matrix in the territorial intervention, occupying the social space “opened” by unemployed workers’ autonomous organizations (autonomy in respect to the State and the traditional forms of political exercise, including diverse experiences or traditions that act together with segments of the “popular national” matrix turned to the anti-liberal struggle), who lost their unified strength, fragmenting and relegating spaces to the traditional politics. Finally, we mention territorial implementation strategies of the period and their implications for the professional intervention of social work.

This paper presents some reflections about the genocide of the black population, expression of institutionalized racial violence in Brazil. We focused on the analysis of socio-racial indicators for understanding racial inequality in the African Diaspora and the experience of the black population is characterized by multiple and contradictory anti-black processes. The critical and contemporary studies of the Diaspora are the basis for an interpretation of anti-black racism. The roots for this go back to the emergence of the modern colonial state and its ideologies and discriminatory practices reconfigured along capitalist development. The study adopts the concept of African Diaspora as genocide, but opens up the possibilities of multiple resistances and struggles for human emancipation and materialization.
