Abstract in Portuguese
Esse trabalho analisa as investigações de Martin Luther King Jr. e Malcolm X feitas pelo Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) entre os anos de 1953 e 1968. King e Malcolm foram dois dos mais importantes líderes negros norte-americanos do movimento dos Civil Rights, e foram intensamente vigiados pelo Bureau durante suas trajetórias políticas. Com um histórico de repressão aos mais diversos grupos -- de supremacistas brancos a comunistas, passando por ativistas negros, gays e pacifistas -- o FBI foi uma das forças conservadoras mais importantes no cenário político estadunidense no século XX. O objetivo é realizar uma leitura crítica da documentação da agência de inteligência, focando na análise das representações de King e Malcolm X feitas pelos funcionários do Bureau. Nesse sentido, trata-se de entender como esses agentes federais interpretaram as mudanças intensas que ocorriam ao seu redor, particularmente no campo das relações raciais nos Estados Unidos. Esse esforço passava não só por descrever e entender os dois líderes e a população negra no geral, mas também por mobilizar categorias e classificações, disseminar informações e compor representações complexas, variadas e sobrepostas.

Abstract in English
This work analyzes the FBI investigations on Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X between 1953 and 1968. King and Malcolm were two of the most important black leaders of the Civil Rights movement, and were intensely surveilled during the 1950s and 1960s. The Bureau, on the other hand, is a federal agency and one of the greatest conservative forces in America during the 20th century, with a long history of repression towards a number of different groups: white supremacists, communists, African American activists, gays, and pacifists. Our goal is to engage in a critical reading of the FBI's documents, focusing on how King and Malcolm -- and the African American population in general -- were portrayed and interpreted by the Bureau's agents. In other words, the aim is to understand how these federal employees comprehended the intense changes that occurred in the United States during that time, particularly in the racial field. This effort was not only made of descriptions and knowledge about the two leaders, but it was also produced by classifications, categories, dissemination of information and complex, diverse and intertwined portrayals of the two men investigated.
