Um estudo das representações dos personagens negros nas literaturas infanto juvenis trabalhadas pelas professoras na educação infantil da Escola Municipal Mariano Morais

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze how the representation of the black character is worked on in children's literature at the Mariano Morais Municipal School, located in the rural area of the city of Nazaré-TO. The interest in research arose after taking Afro-Brazilian education and culture, Education and Multiculturalism, Literature and ethnic-racial relations in schools and the History of Brazilian Education courses in the Pedagogy course, which discussed the ethnic-racial theme and Law 10.639/03. I start from the qualitative methodology and method of bibliographic research and field research in the analysis of children's literature, in carrying out conversations and observations in the school unit. The relational contact with the researched school took place through the intervention of teachers who work in early childhood education, narrating about the didactics and methodologies that the school uses in ethnic-racial discussions. The research showed that the representation of the black character in children's literature worked by early childhood teachers are represented by positive images, outlining the cultural specificities of Afro-Brazilian culture, despite some misrepresentations that are reproduced in books.
