SUMMARY:

Faced with the possibility of situating the debate on reparations for slavery in Brazil in the field of transitional justice, this paper starts with the following question: how is the debate on reparations for slavery based on transitional justice grounded in the recognition of Esperança Garcia as a lawyer? In order to answer this question, the methodological approach used was the quadripolar research method (Bruyne, et al., 1991), in order to achieve the necessary breadth that the research object requires. Empirical experience indicates that the thematisation of conflicts is essential in the process of consolidating democracy and that the re-signification of history has an impact on social dynamics such as the right of certain social groups to enunciate their versions of the facts, which is why the general aim of the research is to analyse how the recognition of Esperança Garcia was structured as a measure of reparation for slavery. To this end, the paper argues that the need for reparations for slavery comes, firstly, from the affirmation of racism as a central variable in the construction of the modern state. The theoretical foundation uses an understanding of the genealogy of the concept of transitional justice to articulate the field's approximations with the debates on reparations for slavery, because despite official history's attempt to silence the horrors of slavery or its effects in the present, there is a collective memory in dispute that provides a new meaning to this traumatic event. Analysing the Esperança Garcia Project allowed us to elaborate that the symbolic recognition of Esperança Garcia as a lawyer as a measure of reparation for slavery helps us to recover a counter-hegemonic legal knowledge that contributes to access to constitutional equality in search of the feeling of equals belonging to the pact of nationhood.
