Ser negro (a): um estudo das narrativas de alunos negros egressos do Pré-Vestibular Social (PVS) no município de Belford Roxo

Abstract

The research aims to describe the experiences of being black, lived by university students graduating from the Pre-Vestibular social at Fundação Cecierj, PVS, a study center in the city of Belford Roxo. For this purpose, it was elaborated a qualitative research of the case study type, using the open interview technique. It´s observed that pre-university courses were created to promote educational opportunities both for black and poor young people and for other excluded segments. Within the interviewed group, it´s also observed that black students build up their experiences in a racist context that feeds new forms of exclusion, generating pain and trauma. Thus, these courses can offer tools that help in the construction of a positive identity, either through discussions, which were considered neglected in schools, or through sociability. Based on these conclusions, it is suggested an anti-racist education in order to contribute to attenuating structural inequalities in society.
