SUMMARY:

This paper aims to discuss "strategic silence" and "racial literacy" as processes that must be, respectively, confronted and adopted by the Public Defender's Office of the State of Acre (DPE-AC) to enable the institution’s active engagement in combating racism. The study seeks to analyze how the DPE-AC, on one hand still (re)produces institutional racism and, on the other, creates mechanisms and strategies to challenge this power structure, especially following the enactment of Complementary Law Nº 132/2009. This research is qualitative and empirical in nature, employing methodological strategies such as document analysis, an online questionnaire distributed to members of the DPE-AC, and participant observation. The analysis of the research findings is based on the constitutional and X 2 legal responsibilities of the institution and its counter-majoritarian role in dialogue with Critical Race Theory and Critical Whiteness Studies. This study identifies the underrepresentation of Black individuals within the DPE-AC, as well as the discontinuation of ethnic-racial awareness and training programs since 2021, highlighting the "pact of silence" as one of the main challenges in confronting institutional racism. However, the paper also points to some progress in recent years, including the implementation of a 20% quota for Black individuals in the current public selection process for the career of public defender and the 2024 amendment to the DPE-AC’s organic law, which allows the creation of eight specialized divisions, facilitating the establishment of a division focused on addressing ethnic-racial challenges and promoting greater racial equality within the DPE-AC.
