A importância da representatividade negra na escola através da literatura pelo viés da comunidade e professores da Região Sul do Brasil

Abstract

The present academic work aimed to reflect on the issue of black representation at school from the perspective of the community and also on the teaching of black literature, from the perspective of teachers in the southern region of Brazil, in addition to the discussion of Laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/8, and their applicability in the school environment. The academic work arose from the reflections carried out throughout the graduation on the Literature course and experiences lived and observed during my journey as a public school student and future teacher of Portuguese/Literature. The research was analyzed from a qualitative approach, in which interviews were applied through a questionnaire to two groups, a group of Portuguese teachers, public and private education professionals and another group composed of people from the community. To support this research, some theorists were used, such as (DUARTE, 2008) and Rossato e Gesser (2001). With the answers obtained, it was possible to understand how Afro-Brazilian literature has been worked on in educational institutions, what is the position of the community regarding the teaching of black culture in schools and what are the main difficulties for the application and presentation of Afro-Brazilian Literature in educational establishments.
