This article aims to analyze the challenges of a racial quota politic in Brazilian universities. As an affirmative action, it proposes to reserve places in publics universities for people of color (black, mixed race and Brazilian natives) by self-declaration of race. Previous researches demonstrated that people of color in Brazil had been systematically excluded from Higher education. This article analyses cases that show the challenges in some Brazilian universities: Federal University of Ceara, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Federal University of Grande Dourados. These cases show one specific challenge when implementing the politic: who has the right to ask for a reserved place? Who benefits from such affirmative action? It concludes that the self-declaration race is not enough to guarantee that the politic will achieve what it intended and that others procedures are required to secure its effectiveness.
