Reading, Anti-racist children's literature, Education for ethnic-racial relations.
This research, entitled “Interaction of the student reader with the anti-racist children’s book: perceptions, meanings, experiences and learning”, is linked to Profletras-UFOPA and follows the research line “Children’s literature, literature and education, reader training”. This is a study proposal that aims to investigate the potential of children’s literature with anti-racist themes and structures, with the aim of providing critical conditions to readers in the 6th grade of Elementary School through contact with a collection designated for this research. To develop the research and implement the intervention project, the exploratory phase of the research will first take place, a period reserved for preliminary inquiries about the object of study, the assumptions and theories that support the development of the project and the operational issues to subsidize the subsequent phase. The qualitative approach research emphasizes reader training as necessary elements of the human condition, creating conditions for social interaction in a critical environment that can reflect values that encompass anti-racist behaviors. The reflections of this study point to methodologies focused on reading, oral and written production and, for this, it became necessary to apply a sociodemographic questionnaire about the target audience of this research and a script of questions that will direct the conversation circles and the reading circles, through the books read by the students. For the research, which addresses the education of racial relations in Basic Education, as well as the importance of reading and anti-racist literature in schools, Munanga (2000), Almeida (2005), Pires (2005), Ribeiro (2014), Martins (1994), Oliveira (1999), Cavalleiro (2001), Gomes (2012), Candido (2011), Britto (2012, 2015), Bértolo (2014), Saviani and Duarte (2010) were used. This study is relevant both because it complies with what is established in Law 10.639/2003, which deals with the mandatory teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture and ethnic-racial education, and because we propose to answer questions present in the teaching of anti-racist literature.
