Abstract
The present study analyzes the precarious housing for black residents of different
skin tones, covered by self-declarations of blacks and browns, to think about the
impacts of Brazilian racism on the quality of housing and the right to the city in a
outskirt at Sorocaba (SP), the Jardim Lopes de Oliveira. A critical conceptual
discussion is elaborated to analyze the reflexes of the practice of racial
discrimination in Brazil, which, anchored in the phenotype, prints it self in the
urban space in a complex way for the different black people. The impacts on
housing precariousness express the construction of an unequal socio-spatial
context, in which the urban can be complexly, more or less frustrated.
