Afro-Brazilian Literature. literacy. Tale. Black authorship. Racial ambience.

This work reflects on the presence of Afro-Brazilian literature to strengthen anti-racist practices inside and outside the classroom and, more specifically, presents a proposal for an educational product aimed at teachers from three public schools in Amapa. , with the aim of promoting the insertion of literary reading of short stories by black authors, in Portuguese language classes in the 9th grade of Basic Education. The general objective is to investigate the potential of dialogue between Afro-Brazilian literature and education for ethnic-racial relations, in the light of qualitative research, based on official documents, interviews, courses, lives and, especially, in the production of AMÂNCIO (2014), CANDIDO (1995), DALCASTAGNÈ (2011), DUARTE (2008; 2014), DEBUS (2017) GIROTO E SOUZA E (2010), COSSON (2018; 2020; 2021), SOLÉ (1998) among others. The research problem sought with this study, namely: How can Afro-Brazilian authorship stories contribute to the deconstruction of racist practices and concepts inside and outside the classroom? Why are literary literacy practices important for the continuous reading training of teachers and, consequently, students? The methodology adopted for the proposal of an educational product consisted of an Afro-literary literacy workshop based on the suggestion of basic sequences and the formation of literature circles, based on the short stories: “Father against Mother”, by Machado de Assis; “O Filho de Luísa”, by Joel Rufino dos Santos”; “Alicerce”, by Geni Guimarães; “The flying carpet”, by Cristiane Sobral; “The Wonder Woman”, by Bianca Santana; and in the literary production of the people from Amapá, Esmeraldina dos Santos, with “O dreamed of a girl”; “Of love and faith”, by Angela Nunes; and “The chosen one”, by Manoel Bispo. Among the results intended for continuing education for teachers, we proposed the “Afro-literary Literacy Workshop in practice” (Educational Product), hosted on the virtual platform of Google Sala de Aula, based on the possibility of building references to combat discrimination and respecting differences, based on the Afro-literary literacy of teachers and, consequently, of students. Thus, enhancing the implementation of Federal Law nº 10.639/2003 and State Law nº 1.196/2008, with effective actions of racial ambience in schools.
