A literatura negra e a descoberta da negritude

Abstract

This work seeks to understand, through black literature, how practices in the teaching of letters can favor the equitable construction of ethnic-racial belonging in black women. It identifies the intersection between these practices that permeate the experiences of human beings and that can arouse joys, sadness, certainties and uncertainties and that have been present in Black Literature for a long time. It relates the work “When I discovered black”, by the author Bianca Santana and the concept “Escrevivência” by Conceição Evaristo with the experiences of black women in the municipality of Alegrete in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. It shows the importance of approaching Black Literature in the classroom, since the school environment is one of the first spaces for socialization. It indicates that Black Literature can help promote anti-racist education in the Brazilian school system. Keywords: Black Women. Black Literature. experiences.
