“Ter pele escura é ser Ismália” A educação antirracista como ferramenta de empoderamento infantil: práticas de uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to analyze anti-racist education through a set of practices developed with children aged 3 to 6 in a non-formal educational context located in a peripheral neighborhood of Erechim/RS. It is based on the narrative trajectories approach, as it is a dialogue of resistance and ancestry, where I draw on the past to build the future. The study aims to identify how practices focused on ethnic-racial relations can significantly contribute to the appreciation of identity and empowerment of black children in educational contexts. It was observed that black children began to identify themselves as part of the black community, which represents an important element of the work. By utilizing anti-racist education, the construction of a sense of belonging between black people and their history is promoted.
