As muitas vidas e identidades de Carolina Maria de Jesus: o uso do biográfico e do autobiográfico no ensino das relações étnico raciais

Abstract

The dissertation aims to problematize the different possibilities of teaching History from biographical and autobiographical studies. In this exercise, I used the biographies of Carolina Maria de Jesus, as well as her most famous book, the "Eviction Room", to reflect on the teaching of ethnic racial relations in republican Brazil. The object of study of the dissertation arose from an experience in a school unit of the public school system, with the objective of applying law 10639/2003, which made compulsory, the teaching of History of Africa and Afro-Brazilians, in schools, of basic education. In order to do so, Carolina Maria de Jesus was chosen because it enabled the debate around the ethnic racial theme, that is, through her trajectory, allowed the discussion around the theme of racism, as well as the debate about other identities, such as: woman, a black woman, a favela resident and a writer. As a result of the dissertation, a pedagogical didactic resource was produced, in a format of activity book, which aims to equip primary school teachers in the application of law 10639/2003 using the biographical and autobiographical in the teaching of racial and social ethnic relations.
