MEDEIROS, Priscila Martins; VIEIRA, Paulo Alberto dos Santos and PIMENTA, Dionísio da Silva. TOWARDS OTHER NARRATIVES: EDUCATION AND DERACIALIZATION OF THE BLACK EXPERIENCE IN BRAZIL. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2019, vol.49, n.171, pp.288-307. Epub May 13, 2019. ISSN 1980-5314. https://doi.org/10.1590/198053145497.
In this paper, we discuss the historical process involved in the construction of the Brazilian national identity, based on the racialization of the black experience, an element still present in the Brazilian identity formation process. Despite the processes of dehumanization endured by black people, they can and must be portrayed in educational spaces for their resistance and fight in order to escape from the zone of non-being and ontological erasure caused by modernity. The paper is organized in three general topics: a) racism, education and the national question in Brazil; b) the processes of racialization of black subjects; and c) black resistance and black agency as a way to construct new narratives in the field of education.
