Trajetórias ausentes: um estudo sobre intelectuais negras como ferramenta para um ensino decolonial, antirracista e antissexista

Abstract

This paper entitled “Trajetórias ausentes: um estudo sobre intelectuais negras como ferramenta para um ensino decolonial, antirracista e antissexista” (Absent trajectories: a study on black female intellectuals as a tool for decolonial, anti-racist and anti-sexist teaching) intends to investigate the contributions of Black Feminism to combat racism and sexism in school spaces. The choice of the research object came from my experiences as a teacher of adolescents in a full-time school that frequently deals with racial and gender prejudice. Our analysis focuses on the context since the 1970s, marked by social, political, and historiographic transformations in which social movements such as the Black Movement and Black Feminism gained prominence. Based on the experience of applying a didactic sequence in a classroom of the 3rd year at the school, Ceti Polivalente Lima Rebelo, the dissertation presentes the systematization of a didactic material that will be used by teachers in other schools. As a methodological approach, we adopted a qualitative and exploratory research, bibliographical survey and participation in seven meeting-classrooms as part of the application of a didactic sequence (DS) focused on the deconstruction of racism and sexism in the school environment. The relevance of the research is centered on contributing to the confrontation of racism and sexism, responsible for the high rate of violence against black women in our society, aiming to overcome stereotypes about black women and to give visibility to black intellectuals. This work also seeks to help raise the self-esteem of students who, in their majority, are of African descent and women who do not see themselves represented in the subjects worked on in the classroom.
