The present article aims to understand how Afro-descendants in the Hispanic world are approached, from an ethnic-racial relation perspective, at the Spanish language items from the National Secondary Education Exam (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio – ENEM). Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative (FLICK, 2009), descriptive-interpretative (MOITA LOPES, 1994) and documentary technique approach (BARDIN, 1977; GIL, 2002). Analysis is based on decolonial studies (MALDONADO-TORRES, 2007; PALERMO, 2012; QUIJANO, 2005; VERONELLI, 2015; WALSH, 2012); in studies on ethnic-racial relations (BRASIL, 2006; GOMES, 2018); and ENEM guidelines (BRASIL, 2010; INEP, 2013). Results showed that of the 120 analyzed items, 9 of them make ethnic-racial relations discussion possible, of which only 2 items actually discuss racialization. The other items approach racialization and Afro-descendancy in a stereotyped way or ignore it in their problematizations.
