Literatura infantil e juvenil Negro-brasileira na escola: construção identitária nos Anos Iniciais de Ensino.

Abstract

The present Training Memorial developed within the scope of the Professional Master's Program in Letters (PROFLETRAS), at the Institute of Letters, of the Universidade Federal da Bahia, presents an interventional project, with the purpose of discussing the importance of black-brazilian children's Literature in the stage of the early years of teaching and contributing to the application of Law 10.639/03 through an educational practice aimed at combating racism. From the constant reflection on my teaching practice and problematic observations in everyday school life, the research aims to experience Negro-brasileira’s Literature reading practices in the classroom and analyze whether the Luís Pereira Costa Municipal School, located in the municipality of Camaçari, metropolitan region of Bahia, has provided (or not) the affirmation and/or negras’s identity construction belonging of the child and adolescent. In this sense, the theoretical framework for its development takes place from the epistemological perspective of Bernd's studies (1988;1989;1992); Bernd (1988;1989;1992); Cuti (2010;2020); Debus (2016;2017); Gomes (2012;2017;2023) and Munanga (2003,2005;2020). The design and development of this research takes place in the interpretative-critical field of the qualitative study of the action-research type, with characteristics of ethnography given the field immersion, applied through a pedagogical instrument of the conversation wheel, as a dialogical movement for the free expression, autonomy and protagonism of the 18 students participating in the research. The result achieved with the children-readers points out that, as the first encounter of differences, the space of the public school is the ideal place as a space-time to disseminate and value the African ethos and encourage, through the practice of literary fluency, the identity construction of belonging to black childhoods. Through the aspects of African diversity, tradition and culture present in Negro-Brasileira’s Literature children have a feeling of acceptance, appreciation and belonging, able to strengthen your characteristics and ancestry.
