Mulheres negras - tecendo identidades com cabelos e artefatos culturais: uma questão para os currículos

Abstract

My thesis was based on the search for images of black women, in order to try to tell a story, one that appears in albums and stories for teenagers and children. These images suggest to me a number of possibilities for applying Law No. 10.639/3. In these space-times that are so plural and so full of colors, identities and meanings, is it possible for us to work in a simple way following a single curriculum? The main thesis of my research has been to try to understand the importance of these publications, which have, in recent years become increasingly prevalent in our country, in relation to possible curricular practices. This increase in the production of albums, combined with a strong editorial bias towards the publication of literature that revives African history, and reinforced by a line aimed at the child/teen audience, is related to the expansion of initiatives by social movements aimed at social equality for black people. All this has reinforced the need for a commitment by government, in the form of laws, decrees and educational reforms. Thus I researched, using this material, trying to understand its importance to the debate over the issue of ethnic-cultural and racial education and to the social dismantling of prejudice and racial discrimination aimed at the black population. Our theoretical foundations are based on Stuart Hall, Franz Fanon, Kabenguele Munanga, Nilma Gomes, Raul Lody, Nilda Alves, Michel de Certeau, Boris Kossoy, Arlindo Machado, Armando Silva, among many others.
